Excerpt from The Painters of the School of Seville

The Pictorial production of Seville is of such real importance that it certainly deserves to rank as a school; it is distinguished by strongly marked tendencies and has been developed by a steady progress. The qualities of originality and of artistic merit which it undoubtedly possesses, accentuate the difference which exists between this school and those others, each so excellent in a different line, which flourished at the same time. The dominant note is one of colour, the excellence of which persisted even after the period of decadence had begun; but this colour, even at the zenith of the schools glory, had a certain pure Spanish sobriety of tone which distinguished it from that of other colourist schools such as those of Venice or Flanders. Their painters, indeed, give us tones of greater transparency and brilliance, but they lack the solidity which was so characteristic of the work of the school of Seville.
