Spanish-English text. Exhibition catalogue. Fundación Banco Santander in collaboration with the National Patrimony, has the pleasure of curating this prestigious exhibition entitled From El Bosco to Tiziano: Art and Wonder at El Escorial. This exhibition displays gems from the Renaissance period including superb paintings, sculptures and decorative arts that were acquired by Felipe II specifically for the El Escorial complex. The exhibition will provide visitors with the opportunity of contemplating works of art that are usually kept in the monastery, away from public view, as well as accentuating the role the monarch played as patron and his contribution to the Spanish historical and artistic patrimony. Works by El Bosco, Tiziano or Navarrete el Mudo are displayed along with jewels, reliquaries, liturgical ornaments, miniated codices, binders, tapestries and drawings, that highlight the appreciation of the intrinsic arquitectonic aspects of the Spanish 16th century, such as the liturgy, death and devotion.
