When you travel through Spain, it becomes readily apparent that the twin peaks of the Spanish Golden Age are El Greco (1541-1614) and Diego Velázquez (1599-1660). Towering, also, are Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652), Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664) and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682). Later arose Francisco de Goya (1746-1828), who—bridging El Greco and Picasso—is known as both the last of the old and the first of the modern Spanish masters. Well into the 19th century, Murillo—the leading religious painter of Seville during his lifetime—was the most highly esteemed Spanish artist in Spain and throughout Europe, and practically the only one known internationally. Celebrated for fusing secular realism and spiritual allegory, Murillo was long equated with Leonardo and Michelangelo.

Sezonul de toamnă: 11 cele mai exemplare întrebări de la etapa a III-a de Ce? Misiunea acestuia a fost una de succes, iar vestea bună a fost preluată și răspândită de presă. În 1794, Ducesa de Alba a venit în grabă la Francisco de Goya și i-a cerut să-i picteze fața, ceea ce el a făcut imediat. Rezultatul însă nu a fost inclus în expoziția lucrărilor lui din Galeria Națională din Londra numită „Goya: portretele”.
