The National Gallery's collection of Spanish paintings is distinguished
by seven of El Greco's works from every period of his activity in Italy
and Spain; Diego Velázquez' work on an intimate scale; Bartolomé Esteban
Murillo's images addressing both the sacred and profane; and seven of
Francisco de Goya's incisive portraits of Spain's aristocratic and
intellectual society. Also included are two panels by the Master of the
Catholic Kings, which represent Hispano-Flemish painting of the late
fifteenth century at its best.
