Spain and the Hispanic World at the Royal Academy of Arts
From masterpieces by Goya and Velázquez to dazzling objects from Latin America, explore the art and culture of the Hispanic world in this landmark exhibition.
Discover the rich story of Spanish and Hispanic art and culture from the ancient world to the early 20th century through over 150 fascinating works: from masterpieces by El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez and Goya to sculptures, paintings, silk textiles, ceramics, lustreware, silverwork, precious jewellery, maps, drawings, illuminated manuscripts and stunning decorative lacquerware from Latin America.
The exhibition features the famous World Map of 1526 by Giovanni Vespucci, and culminates with Sorolla’s colourful, large-scale study for his monumental series of 14 paintings, Vision of Spain.
Founded in New York in 1904, the Hispanic Society Museum & Library is home to the most extensive collection of Spanish art outside of Spain. Presented for the first time in the UK, it will offer visitors a chance to trace the great diversity of cultures and religions – from Celtic to Islamic, Jewish and Christian – that have shaped and enriched what we today understand as Spanish culture.

De Sevilla a Edimburgo: génesis y recorrido de La Vieja Friendo Huevos
“La Vieja friendo huevos”, obra maestra de Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), puede admirarse en la Galería Nacional de Escocia, siendo una de esas conexiones ineludibles con España que explora el Consulado de España en Edimburgo en su ciclo de conferencias.
En esta ocasión, el próximo 11 de octubre, el profesor Jesús Ángel Porres, de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, explicará en este webinar en línea cómo era la Sevilla de comienzos del siglo XVII, cuando el cuadro vio la luz.
Será presentado por el conservador jefe de la colección de pintura europea de la National Gallery of Scotland, Aidan Weston Lewis, quien hablará de las vicisitudes que llevaron hasta Escocia a una de las joyas de nuestro Siglo de Oro.
