Description: Summary: Still lifes, saints, crucifixions: Francisco de Zurbarán's paintings vibrate with the aesthetic and the religious elements of 17th-century Spanish culture. The book presents almost forty of his paintings, and Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom discusses this mysterious artist who seems the Spanish answer to Caravaggio and his art.
Notes: Translated from the Dutch by Helga von Beuningen and Daniel Mufson.
