EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting perspective view of the Great Cloister of the Escorial Tomb of the Kings of Spain, created between 1700 and 1799, offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur and solemnity of the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain. The image, titled 'Prospectus Clastri majoris Escurialis Sepulcrum Regum Hispaniae,' is an intriguing blend of art and architecture that showcases the intricate design of the Italian Baroque and Renaissance styles. The Great Cloister, located within the Escorial Palace and Monastery complex, was built as a royal mausoleum to house the remains of the Spanish monarchs. The design of the cloister is a harmonious blend of architecture and nature, with the arches and columns creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The intricate details of the facade, with its ornate carvings and sculptures, are beautifully rendered in this 18th-century etching or watercolor paint. The image is attributed to the Remondini family, a renowned Italian dynasty of engravers and printmakers, or possibly to the Dutch artist Bassano del Grappa. The exact identity of the creator remains unknown, but their mastery of perspective and their ability to capture the essence of the Great Cloister are evident in this stunning work of art. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the somber processions and ceremonies that once took place within the hallowed walls of the cloister. It is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Europe during the eighteenth century, a time when the arts flourished and the influence of the Low Countries and Italy was felt across the continent.
