VELAZQUEZ AND THE GOLDEN AGE
The Caixa Forum presents a selection of paintings by Velázquez and his contemporaries. This exhibition presents seven works by Velázquez and fifty other pieces by some of the Sevillian maestro’s finest international contemporaries. The themed display offers a contextualization and better understanding of the originality of Velázquez as a narrator, breaking down the barriers of national schools.
The paintings of this genius are imbued with cosmopolitanism and his art takes on another dimension within the international context. Because of this the exhibition proposes a dialogue with works by artists such as Tiziano, Rubens, Giordano, Ribera, Brueghel the Elder, Van Dyck, Claudi de Lorena, Zurbarán and Murillo.
