"All his life he painted friars; they are lanky or haggard fellows, but they are always wrought of tough fibre; they show what staunch discipline, what genuine, austere manliness formed the underlying ideas of monkhood,"
Zurbarán. An illustration from the book "Letters From Spain" written and illustrated by Karel Capek, translated by Paul Selver, published by George Bles, London, 1931. Capek, (1890-1938), the Czech writer best known for his plays, wrote a number of travel books in an amused and urbane style which suffused his accompanying drawings as well. He invented the word 'robot'.
