| Summary | "The Story of Spanish Painting" by Charles H. Caffin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of Spanish painting from its origins to its peak, emphasizing how its development is intertwined with the historical and cultural identity of Spain. Caffin delves into the unique characteristics of Spanish art that arose from the country's complex social and political landscapes. At the start of the book, the author outlines the historical backdrop necessary to understand the evolution of Spanish painting, beginning with the unification of Spain in 1492 and the ensuing cultural transformations. Caffin discusses the geographical features of Spain that fostered a spirit of independence and individualism among its people, along with the cultural influences from Roman, Gothic, and Moorish art. He establishes a link between the historical development of the nation and the individual artists who shaped the country's artistic legacy, positioning Spanish painting as a distinct expression of national identity and spirituality that evolved through various epochs, particularly during the Golden Age.
