In this 3-week course we will cover 500 years of Spanish art, including artists such as Diego Velazquez who held a leading position as painter in the Court of King Phillip IV to the dark images of Francois Goya with his Spanish beauties and images of contemporary 18th century Spanish conflicts. The images of light and joy of 19th century artist Joaquin Sorolla is a link from the Spanish artistic past to the modern 20th century images of Pablo Picasso and the surrealist Salvador Dali whose melting clock continues to fascinate and inspire.
