Renaissance to Goya includes exquisite examples of prints and drawings from the late fifteenth century through to the Golden Age of the seventeenth century, featuring key works from Berruguete, the Carducho brothers, Murillo, Ribera, Zurbarán and the extraordinary drawings of Velázquez. The book concludes with the Enlightenment and a remarkable collection of Goya prints, and works by Goya s contemporaries Lucas, Camaron and the Tiepolo family of Madrid.
