El Greco: 1541–1614 By José Gudiol Translated from the Spanish by Kenneth Lyons Published by Alpine Fine Arts Collection Ltd., London A Cromwell Edition Condition: Immaculate / Fine — both the book and dust jacket are in pristine condition. Pages are crisp, bright, and unmarked; binding is tight and square. A true collector’s copy. A masterwork of art scholarship, this volume offers the definitive study of Doménikos Theotokópoulos, known to the world as El Greco, whose visionary art bridged the late Renaissance and the dawn of the Baroque. José Gudiol, a distinguished Spanish art historian, examines the profound spiritual and emotional dimensions of El Greco’s work, revealing his mystical roots in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuit tradition. Illustrated with 85 full-color plates and 268 black-and-white reproductions, this book brings to life El Greco’s vivid, elongated figures, dramatic chiaroscuro, and ethereal energy — qualities that influenced painters from Velázquez to Picasso. Perfect for art historians, collectors, libraries, and lovers of fine art. This item ships from Canada.
