Late Titian and the Sensuality of Painting
In the mid-sixteenth century, at almost 60 years of age, Titian invented a new way of painting: the paint was applied to the canvas rapidly and freely and overlaid with brushstrokes that were both light and dense: the forms broke up and a great sensuality and profound spirituality became evident. Titian used an extraordinarily prescient technique to create engaging, stirring painting that in some ways seems to relate to the literary work of the poet Torquato Tasso and even take up the imaginary writings of Ludovico Ariosto published in Venice in the 1530s. Such a painting style had never previously been imagined and was so revolutionary that it was to influence many artists of subsequent centuries through to the modern age. Late Titian became the yardstick not only for younger contemporary painters like Tintoretto, Veronese and Bassano, but also great artists of subseqent cewnturies like Rubens, Rembandt, Velazquez, Gericault and Delacroix and on to the Expressionists.

Spain in the Age of Exploration, 1492-1819
This publication accompanies an exhibition of approximately 120 works of art and science loaned mostly from the Royal Collection of Spain (Patrimonio Nacional) to the Seattle Art Museum. Featuring the work of such artists as Bosch, Titian, El Greco, Bernini, Vel¾zquez, Murillo, Zubar¾n, and Goya, this publication includesøpaintings, sculpture, tapestries, scientific instruments, maps, armor, books, and documents. Eight essays provide historical context and artistic explication. Chronologically organized, the book charts the evolution of Spanish attitudes toward knowledge, exploration, and faith during three dynasties of Spain?s golden age, when the fervor for scientific and geographical knowledge coexisted with the expansion of empire and promotion of Christianity. The four themes of the exhibition are: The Image of Empire; Spirituality and Worldliness; Encounters across Cultures; Science and the Court. Spain in the Age of Exploration, 1492?1819, presents art and science from one of the most ambitious, magnificent, and complex enterprises in history.
Les saintes vierges et martyres dans l'Espagne du XVIIe siècle
Des portraits. Voilà ce qui vient à l'esprit du spectateur lorsqu'il voit les séries de saintes vierges et martyres de l'atelier de Zurbarán. C'est de cette impression que naît la réflexion conduite ici sur des saintes qui font l'objet d'un culte ancestral. Pour être en mesure de définir l'image de ces figures tant sur le plan de l'histoire locale que sur celui de l'histoire nationale, divers parcours géographiques et de multiples changements d'échelle sont nécessaires. Car ces saintes constituent un ensemble à la fois hétérogène et homogène, une ambivalence que cette étude ne cherche pas à réduire. Partant du principe que le culte est inséparable de l'image, l'ouvrage s'appuie sur des oeuvres écrites et sur des centaines de représentations iconographiques. L'auteur envisage de manière concomitante la mise en scène de ces saintes, leur mise en récit, en mots, en peinture, dans l'Espagne de Philippe III et de Philippe IV.
