A theme treated in this book from a number of different angles is the importance of earlier Spanish art to the art of the period from the 19th century until today. The book starts by presenting various categories of significant motifs in earlier Spanish art. The second part of the book gives examples of how these categories of motifs -religious motifs, portrait paintings, still lifes and genre motifs by the likes of El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez and Goya -inspired a number of paintings in Sweden as well as elsewhere in Europe in the period from the 19th century up to present.
