Description
Juan de Valdés Leal painted the two Hieroglyphs of the Last Things for the Hospital de la Caridad in Seville — a bishop's corpse rotting in its coffin, a hand holding the scales of judgement — and Murillo is said to have remarked that one had to hold one's nose to look at them. Aureliano de Beruete y Moret (1876-1922) was himself a painter, later director of the Prado, and he wrote about Valdés Leal as a colleague rather than an antiquarian: what the man was attempting, what he could do, where the vehemence came from. This critical study of 1911 is illustrated and remains a standard early account. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1911 Madrid edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
