Here approximately two hundred works by French and Spanish artists chart the development of this cultural influence and map a fascinating shift in the paradigm of painting, from Idealism to Realism, from Italy to Spain, from Renaissance to Baroque. Above all, these images demonstrate how direct contact with Spanish painting fired the imagination of nineteenth-century French artists and brought about the triumph of Realism in the 1860s, and with it a foundation for modern art."--BOOK JACKET.

Works by Rembrandt and Velázquez are presented in a context of contemporaries and compatriots, including spectacular works by Zurbarán, Vermeer, Murillo, Hals, Valdés Leal, Torrentius, Ribera and others. 'Rembrandt-Velázquez' focuses on themes such as religion and realism, beauty and emotion. Presented in pairs, the Spanish and Dutch masterpieces enter into a dialogue.

Excerpt from Velazquez and Murillo: A Descriptive and Historical Catalogue of the Works of Don Diego De Silva Velazquez and Bartolome Esteban Murillo, Comprising a Classified List of Their Paintings, With Descriptions In cataloguing the contents of my portfolios it became interesting to ascertain the ownership of the pictures, to trace their history, and to note their correspondence with, or variance from, other works similar in subject or composition. These comparisons were greatly aided by the photographs, drawings, etc., which made it possible to detect differences or resemblances, too slight to be carried in the eye or stored in the memory. After a time, greatly to my surprise, I found that I had made tolerably complete catalogues of the works of some of the more important Spanish masters, - at least I had the materials for such catalogues. All that was needed was to arrange these materials, and to write out the notes in proper form for publication. This I have done, with the hope of adding something to the existing knowledge on the subject, and the further hope of encouraging some more capable person to do well what I have done but imperfectly.

In 1845, a Reading bookseller named John Snare came across the dirt-blackened portrait of a prince at a country house auction. Suspecting that it might be a long-lost Velazquez, he bought the picture and set out to discover its strange history. When Laura Cumming stumbled on a startling trial involving John Snare, it sent her on a search of her own. At first she was pursuing the picture, and the life and work of the elusive painter, but then she found herself following the bookseller's fortunes too - from London to Edinburgh to nineteenth-century New York, from fame to ruin and exile. An innovative fusion of detection and biography, this book shows how and why great works of art can affect us, even to the point of mania. And on the trail of John Snare, Cumming makes a surprising discovery of her own. But most movingly, The Vanishing Man is an eloquent and passionate homage to the Spanish master Velazquez, bringing us closer to the creation and appreciation of his works than ever before
