On Art and Painting

Vicente Carducho and Baroque Spain

Edited by Jean Andrews, Jeremy Roe, and Oliver Noble Wood

Though he was one of the most commercially successful Spanish painters of the seventeenth century, Vincente Carducho emphasized piety and devotion to a higher power in his work and his writing. On Art and Painting features in-depth analyses by art historians and scholars of Hispanic studies on Carducho’s 1633 treatise, Dialogues on Painting. In the Dialogues, arranged as conversations between a master painter and his apprentice, Carducho outlines and systematizes the learning and techniques of Spanish painting. This book brings together international experts in the only volume on the work of Vicente Carducho in English.

“In the first full-length and in-depth study of Vicente Carducho’s Diálogos de la pintura in any language for more than thirty years, the fourteen contributors provide a comprehensive and at times scintillating reading of Carducho’s work in all of its multiple facets. This book will be welcomed by all of those interested in art and literature in Baroque Spain, and it is a timely addition to the growing interest in Vicente Carducho.”

Trevor J. Dadson FBA, Queen Mary University of London

“This volume offers a reappraisal of the art and thought of Vicente Carducho, for too long overshadowed in art history by Diego Velázquez, his younger artistic rival at the Spanish court.
A wide-ranging series of essays consider this treatise and its illustrations in terms of the international literary and artistic cultural context of its time, providing almost the only in-depth analysis of the achievements of the artist in the English language.”

Peter Cherry, Trinity College Dublin
