| Summary | "Sculpture in Spain" by Albert Frederick Calvert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides an in-depth exploration of Spanish sculpture, tracing its roots from the prehistoric Iberian period through various artistic movements, including Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance influences. Calvert aims to unveil the significance and characteristics of Spanish sculpture, often overshadowed by the fame of its paintings. The opening of the book starts with an introduction emphasizing the unique capacity of the Spanish character to express itself through sculpture, showcasing its deeper cultural significance compared to painting. Calvert discusses early examples of Iberian sculpture, particularly the Lady of Elche, and examines the various artistic influences that shaped Spanish sculpture over time. He notes the predominance of religious themes in Spanish carvings and sculptures, attributing this to the Catholic Church's needs. Overall, the initial chapters set the stage for a detailed analysis of how Spain’s historical and cultural contexts influenced its sculptural heritage. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
