Three millennia of Spain's masterworks and major artistic personalities is illustrated in new colour photography for this survey. Fourteen original essays, each by a prominent specialist, cover the the following topics: prehistory and first contacts with Mediterranean antiquity; Roman art and architecture in Spain; from antiquity to the Middle Ages; Christianization and the Visigothic world; pre-Romanesque and Romanesque art; Gothic Spain; the presence of Islam and Arab art; the art of the Renaissance; the baroque; the art of colonial America; Francisco Goya; the 19th century; Spanish art from 1900 to 1939; Pablo Picasso and contemporary art; and architecture and design. Each chapter includes illustrated mini essays highlighting subjects of special interest: for example, recent discoveries of prehistoric art, a stunning Apocalypse made in the year 1078 and the 20th-century Catalan master architect Antoni Gaudi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art and Architecture of Spain, Preparation for Visit to Spai, Oct 28 2003

This review is from: Art And Architecture Of Spain Spain (Cloth) (Hardcover)
Illustrations are well chosen and well sized. Text is readable and authentic. Text is well referenced. Chronological/political/ cultural chart in appendix is excellent.

Drawback is the impossibility of actually seeing or visiting in one trip everything that has whet your appetite by reading A & A of Spain one trip. I leave for Seville next Thursday knowing that at least two more trips will have to be taken. The cost as part of the trips makes the book a real investment.

This book is great because not only are the pictures wonderful, but they were able to get pictures of those things that tourists are not allowed.. A definite must for your coffee table.

This review is from: Art And Architecture Of Spain Spain (Cloth) (Hardcover)
This book truly gives a reader the full experience of what makes Spain so beautiful, its art and architecture. Many of these beautiful places in Spain, the traveler is not able to take pictures, so this book captures the beauty of these places in a way that no amateur photographer can imagine being able to. If you want to see Spain in all of its glory, buy this book.
