~This book had its gestation in 1979, when I first traveled to Spain to see for myself the vistas de España. I have accumulated many debts during the twenty-five years that have elapsed since that time, foremost among them to my teachers: William H. Gerdts taught me the value of primary research and allowed me to mine his incomparable library, H. Barbara...

American paintings of Spain reveal as much about the United States as they do about people and places on the Iberian Peninsula. During the years from 1860 to 1914, a period that encompasses the American Civil War, the Spanish Revolution of 1868, and the Spanish-American War, citizens of these two countries grappled with...

By the time Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) began painting majas on a balcony, bullfighters at the ring, and flirting taberneras in the city of Seville, the journey to Spain had become a popular artistic pilgrimage. I began working out these ideas in “Bullfights and...

Six years after Mary Cassatt left the toreadors of Seville to begin her career as a modern artist in Paris, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) arrived in Spain to paint the preliminary sketches for El jaleo, arguably the most famous American painting of Spanish life (fig. 5.1)....

John Singer Sargent repeatedly traversed the Iberian Peninsula in the three decades after painting El jaleo (see fig. 5.1), during which time he extended his knowledge of Spain and its people well beyond that of first-time travelers.
