The Meadows Museum, founded by Algur
H. Meadows, boasts one of the finest collections of Spanish art outside
Spain. This impressive handbook presents the breadth of the museum's
holdings, which ranges from early Renaissance examples to modern works
by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Juan Gris. Most of the art was created
during the Spanish Golden Age by Baroque artists such as Diego
Velázquez, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and Jusepe de Ribera. Francisco de
Goya is represented by several notable paintings, as are a number of
late 19th and early 20th century Spanish artists working both within and
beyond their native country's borders, such as Mariano Fortuny y
Marsal, Raimundo de Madrazo, Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, and Ignacio
Zuloaga.
Featuring beautiful illustrations and accessible text,
this handbook offers an informative and engaging introduction to a truly
remarkable collection.
