Spanish artists of the period were known for their technical skills and artistic innovations. They used chiaroscuro to create depth and volume in their works, minute details to accurately represent objects and facial expressions, perspective to create the illusion of depth, and a varied color palette to express a wide range of emotions. A Escola Espanhola of the 16th century left a lasting legacy in the history of European art, reflecting the complex interaction between politics, religion and culture in Spain at the time. ver menos
