Exhibition Catalog Splendeurs du Baroque

At the heart of the Spanish Golden Age (16th-18th centuries), a period of political and cultural flourishing, this book highlights the genius of great masters such as El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán, and Murillo. Born from an exceptional collaboration between the Musée Jacquemart-André and the Hispanic Society of America, it presents for the first time in France a selection of major works from this prestigious New York collection. Richly illustrated, the book explores the artistic vitality of Spain under the Habsburgs, at the head of a vast empire stretching from Europe to the Americas, and reveals a triumphant Baroque style characterized by intense expression, dynamic compositions, and profound spirituality. Through religious paintings and portraits, it invites readers to discover or rediscover the richness of Spanish and Latin American art, while highlighting its essential place in the broader history of art.
