Portal of the Convent of Sancti Spiritu, Salamanca

Charles Clifford British

Not on view

In his search for subjects of historic interest, Charles Clifford traveled throughout Spain. Here, constrained by the ancient streets of Salamanca and forced to create a composition devoid of depth, he nevertheless managed to choose the moment when the early morning sun picked out the detail of this elaborately carved doorway by the eminent sculptor Berruguete.
