Renaissance and Baroque. Art collecting and patronage at MNAC. A sampling of the best sculpture and painting of the Renaissance and Baroque periods provides an idea of the MNAC collection which, without relying on a royal collection, proceeds from private bequests and donations or from institutional deposits. A good opportunity to get to know a series of works by leading painters of the Renaissance such as Titian, Jacopo Bassano or El Greco, and also paintings by the grand masters of Spanish Baroque such as Zurbarán, Ribera, Ribalta, Velázquez or Claudio Coello. Moreover, this catalogue provides a review of the history of the MNAC's Renaissance and Baroque collections and an in-depth analysis of the artistic relations between the island of Majorca and the Principality during this period based on Josep Cantallops and Salvador Mayol as concrete examples. The book concludes with an exhaustive bibliography.
