Talk by Professor Claudia Hopkins,<\/strong> Durham University, in conjunction<\/strong> with the Instituto Cervantes London<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday 17 January 2022, 6pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scottish artist-adventurer David Roberts (1796-1864) and his Galician friend, Genaro P\u00e9rez Villaamil generated hundreds of views of Spanish towns and monuments set in beguiling landscapes. Roberts presented Spain as a timeless, exotic nation. Villaamil projected a patriotic view of his country as a Catholic nation, opening itself up to modernity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new exhibition, at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, has brought together 120 paintings, prints and drawings, which explore the artists\u2019 friendship and their Romantic vision of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talk by the curator, Professor Hopkins, will be illustrated with key works from Spanish and British collections, such as the National Galleries of Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A drinks reception, featuring Spanish wines kindly provided by the Instituto Cervantes, will precede the talk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
