“Mr. A. CALVERT’S Spanish Series will be heartily welcomed by all
students of Spanish art, for it is not too much to say that never before
has an attempt been made to present to the public so vast a number of
reproductions from quite acceptable photographs of Spanish works of art
at so low a price.”--_The World._
“ ...Calculated to give English readers a most comprehensive survey of
this fascinating land, and to convey a clear idea of its historic
greatness. The get-up of the books is in every way worthy of a series of
this magnitude.”--_Sketch._
“Every volume in the Spanish Series has taught us to expect a high
standard of excellence.”--_Daily News._

_UNIFORM WITH THIS VOLUME_
EL GRECO
A BIOGRAPHY & APPRECIATION. WITH 136 PLATES
In a Series such as this, which aims at presenting every aspect of
Spain’s eminence in art and in her artists, the work of Domenico
Theotocópuli must be alloted a volume to itself. “El Greco,” as he is
called, who reflects the impulse, and has been said to constitute the
supreme glory of the Venetian era, was a Greek by repute, a Venetian by
training, and a Toledan by adoption. His pictures in the Prado are still
catalogued among those of the Italian School, but foreigner as he was,
in his heart he was more Spanish than the Spaniards.
