«El Escorial, metáfora en piedra» is the essay by Antonio Fernández Alba, published by the CSIC in paperback (120 pages).
The book analyses the Monastery of El Escorial not only as an architectural complex, but as a symbolic fetish of royal power. Fernández Alba studies how the building's layouts and rooms translate a utopian and religious project into stone, and reviews the multiple interpretations its image has provoked throughout history.
The work dates from 2004 and belongs to the Artes y Artistas collection; the text is in Spanish and the edition is paperback.
For those interested in the history of Spanish art and architecture, especially monumental heritage and its symbolism.
