Joaquín Sorolla Portraits 3
Joaquín Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting. In Joaquín Sorolla Portraits 3 1911 -1920 Sorolla paints still paints many important portraits although in the course of preparing for his grand masterpiece "The Vision of Spain", which hangs in the Hispanic Society of America, he did not have the same amount of time available. Sorolla also indulged in painting gardens as relaxation from the gigantic "The Vision of Spain" project. The portraits provide a deep and interesting look into both American and Spanish society in this period. In his early years Sorolla often showed social realism, in his culmination period showed the increasingly wealthy sitters that came to him and in his final period he is a celebrated portraitist of rich Americans and a cultural and political elite in Spain.

Napoleon In Spain Workbook
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) continues to fascinate even today, more than 200 years after his death. His legacy is shown in beautiful paintings.

Napoleon ́s association with Spain is an incredibly dynamic and very different period. Everything takes place here in a local arena coinciding with what is called the Spanish Peninsular War and the War of Independence. Most of the time Napoleon is only present by proxy - by his generals and brother Joseph, whom he cr...

Lealtades firmes
La sociedad anónima Carlos Casado tuvo un rol fundamental en la victoria de Paraguay durante la cruenta guerra del Chaco que ese país mantuvo contra Bolivia entre 1932 y 1935.

Esta obra rastrea las redes que se movilizaron en los momentos claves y los espacios de sociabilidad que garantizaron el éxito de esta experiencia entre España, Argentina y Paraguay.
Les orientalistes de l'école espagnole
Il est généralement admis que l'Orientalisme est la représentation que l'Occident se fait de l'Orient depuis les débuts du XIXe siècle. Les conditions historiques propres à chaque pays conditionnent ce mode de représentation et, en cela, l'Orientalisme espagnol se distingue des autres en raison des relations particulières de la péninsule Ibérique avec l'Orient. En effet, une grande partie de son territoire, qu'on appela Al-Andalus, participa longuement et intensément aux avatars historiques et culturels du monde oriental, et d'une manière générale à la culture arabo-islamique. Cet ouvrage se propose de présenter un vaste répertoire d'¶uvres et de biographies de peintres orientalistes espagnols pour faire mieux connaître cet aspect intéressant et assez peu connu de la peinture espagnole.
