Ribera
A leading figure in the baroque Spanish tradition-alongside El Greco, Velazquez and Zurbaran- Jose Ribera's style was the most markedly tenebrist; he was also one of the first artists to be both a painter and printmaker. In his earlier style, sometimes drawing on Caravaggio and sometimes on Guido Reni's various techniques, his study of Spanish and Venetian masters can be traced. Along with his massive and predominant shadows, one of his strongest points throughout his career was the use he made of colour. In the early 1630s his style moved away from strong contrasts of dark and light to the use of more diffused and golden lighting. Javier Portus, chief curator of the Spanish Baroque art department at the Museo del Prado, takes a fresh look at Ribera's career, focusing his research on the early years, less studied by art historians till date.

Velazquez
One of the most influential, admired painters to ever live: a look at some of Velázques’s court portraits from 1649 to his death in 1660 Diego Velázquez was one of the most important and influential painters in the Spanish Golden Age and the leading artist in King Philip IV’s court. To accompany an exhibition at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Spain, this book analyzes the development of Velázquez’s court portraits from his second trip to Rome in 1649 to his death in Madrid in 1660, a period that saw the creation of some of the greatest of all masterpieces within this genre, such as Las Meninas. Also included are portraits produced in Velázquez’s circle that focus on the complex process behind the creation of the royal image. The book traces the subsequent development of the Spanish court portrait after Velázquez’s death when artists such as Mazo and Carreno reinterpreted his ideas, resulting in innovative contributions to the genre in their depictions of Margarita of Austria, Mariana of Austria, and Charles II.
