is the most significant and recognisable Spanish painter of the mid-sixteenth century, working out of Badajoz near the border with Portugal, straddling both cultures.
This book looks at the painting of Morales, all of it devotional and made for Catholic parishes and patrons, in juxtaposition with other cultural production during his lifetime such as religious theatre, dance, religious music; the tensions between Protestant and Catholic theologies in western Europe and new domestic devotional currents in Iberia; the output of other artists operating in Spain and Portugal, in order to produce a fully-rounded sense of this most circumspect of artists.

Morales was an enigma in his own time and continues to be little known. There is very little written about him in English. I like to think I have made some little dent in this wall of unknowing.
