Review:
"Despite minor organizational problems that might create confusion for a novice, this book provides newcomers with a useful history of the arts, introduces them to the scholarly debates, and is richly illustrated."-Richard Ninness, Sixteenth Century Journal "This is an excellent book. Its virtues are that it offers an overview of the painting, sculpture, architecture, and luxury arts of Iberia; furthermore, it is highly reliable. Between the footnotes and the bibliography, it contains a trustworthy list of existing publications on Spanish and Portuguese art, a list that registers the history of Iberia with depth and balanced judgment."-Gridley McKim-Smith, CAA Reviews "This richly illustrated volume is a masterful study of the arts of Spain and its colonies from 1450 to 1700."-F.W. Robinson, Choice "This is a richly detailed synthesis of a vast body of material. The arts of the cultures treated in this book were varied and extremely refined, yet these arts have not been given an accessible synthesis until now; this book will play an important role in orienting the public within this material."-Joseph Koerner, Courtauld Institute of Art
