Publisher's Note
The Decoration of the Royal Basilica of El Escorial examines one of the most important creative endeavors of late sixteenth century Spain, and indeed, Europe as a whole. Conceived as a mausoleum for the Spanish Habsburgs, designed as both monastery and palace, the Escorial was closely supervised by King Philip II, who wished it to exemplify the spirit of the Counter-Reformation through observance of new decrees relating to church ritual and religious imagery. Rosemarie Mulcahy here provides the first thorough reconstruction of the Kings grand design of the basilica. Challenging some of the current views that argue for a definable Counter-Reformation style, the author also raises important questions regarding Philip II's patronage practices, particularly his requirements for religious art and the extent to which they were met by artists.
