Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stories of the Spanish Artists Until Goya
And so, whether it be in Toledo or in Seville or in Estremadura or in Valencia, Spanish art, already a hundred years later in its development than the art of Italy, is just a religious hampered. By all the dogmatism of the Spanish ecclesiastic, oblivious not of life but of laughter, of the gaiety, for instance, which you may find implicit almost in Fra Angelico's work, really just a drudge of the Church that, so she said, set no store by things which rust and moth doth corrupt.
