About this book
The Escorial is a book by Albert Frederick Calvert. A list of captions with page numbers names, among others, the Court of the Evangelists, Choir Stalls, and the Panteon of the Kings. The portraits of the Emperor Charles, Philip II., Charles II., and other royal personages are said to be excellent likenesses.
The Upper Gallery of the Cloisters is described as decorated with several paintings by Barrocci, Giordano, Carducci, Juan de Gomez, Navarrete, and Sebastian Herrera. The text says that Navarrete's works are of principal interest and names San Geronimo, the Birth of Christ and the Appearance of Christ to His Mother. The text says that in the reproductions of his works the author has endeavoured to convey some idea of Goya's boldness of style, his mastery of frightful shadows and mysterious lights, and his genius for expressing all terrible emotions.
