Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the evolution of Spanish art, focusing on the influence of French trends on Spanish painting from the 18th century to the present day, arguing that Spanish artists have consistently followed in the wake of the French rather than developing an independent style. The author traces the development of realism, romanticism, and naturalism in both countries and examines the work of key Spanish and French artists, including Goya, David, Courbet, and Millet. The book highlights the lack of originality in Spanish painting and the dependence on French models, and posits that the supposed originality of the Catalan ruralist school is a myth, as it is merely a derivative of the French bucolic naturalism of Courbet and Millet. The author concludes by asserting that Spanish art has yet to fully develop an independent and distinctive character. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
