January – June 2026

SPANISH ART AND ARCHITECTURE
Spanish art and architecture have contributed greatly to Western Art over the centuries but is often side-lined in favour of French and Italian
art. However, Spain has had important and influential artists and Spanish art also has distinctive characteristics arising from its unique,
often powerful history and geographical location. This programme addresses Velásquez, El Greco and Gaudi individually as particularly
influential artists. It also more generally explores Moorish architecture, the Spanish Golden Age, Surrealism, the art of the Spanish Civil war
and, in the 19th century, art from Goya to Sorolla.
