Philip III (1578-1621), so often dismissed in favor of Philip II and Philip IV, actually presided over an era of crucial artistic development in Spain. His reign was a time of cultural and political vitality for the Spanish monarchy, as the king and his court, having successfully maintained a peaceful foreign policy in Europe (the "Pax Hispanica"), ushered in a style of grandeur where fabulous gala celebrations, building campaigns, picture collecting, recreation and travel were the order of the day. Accordingly, the art of this period flourished, witnessing the birth of a naturalistic style that was variously reflected in a new attention to detail and spatiality in court portraiture, the thriving of still life, the humanizing of saints and the development of polychrome sculpture. Focusing on the careers of the mature El Greco and the young Vel???zquez, which bookend this exciting period of resurgent court culture, this volume also investigates the works of lesser-known but highly talented artists who exerted a critical influence on the development of Spanish painting. Essays by several noted scholars provide indispensable perspectives on the historical, literary, cultural and religious context in which these artists lived. The product of 20 years of research and illustrated with a sumptuousness befitting its subject, El Greco to Vel???zquez is sure to become a standard reference for enthusiasts of Spanish art.

"Provides a glimpse into the little-known artistic world of Philip III's Spain (1598-1621). This was a time of cultural and poltiical vitality in the Spanish monarchy, as the king and his court 'issued in a new style of grandeur' (in the words of their contemporary Gil Gonzalez d'Avila)--where gala celebrations, building campaigns, and picture collecting were the order of the day. The art of the period saw the birth of a naturalistic style, reflected in a new attention to detail and space in court protraiture, the flourishing of still life, the humanizing of saints, and the development of polychrome sculpture. The book explores the careers of the mature El Greco and the young Velazquez and examines the work of lesser-known and highly talented artists who exerted a critical influence on the development of Spanish painting."--dj description from hardcover copy.
