Summary:

A comprehensive treatment of Juan de Herrera, the principal architect of Philip II of Spain. The book aims to demonstrate how Herrera's style of abstraction - the "estilo desornamentado" - became indelibly associated with the ideology of Philip II's kingship and the values of Spanish Habsburg rule.
