An Account of the Lives and Works of the most Eminent Spanish Painters, Sculptors and Architects; and where their several Performances are to be seen. Translated from the Musaeum Pictorium of Palomino Velasco.

Notes

An abridged translation of the third volume of 'Museo Pictorico y escala optica' (the first two were on the theory and practice of painting), containing much important biographical material on Spanish artists; among others it contains the first published biography of Velazquez. The translation has been attributed to Uvedale Price but this is now thought to be incorrect. This copy contains the scarce errata leaf, here bound after the preface instead of at the end, but more often missing entirely.
