"El Greco to Velasquez" exhibition at MFA Boston
Saturday, June 14, 2008!
FIERI-Boston will like to invite you to join us for a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to see the exhibition "El Greco to Velasquez" at 11 AM on Saturday June 14th. Please contact Franca at fbculturefieri-boston.org if you would like to attend!
"A vivid, often passionate picture of Spain at the dawn of the 17th century...Putting these two geniuses in context with their contemporaries charts a fascinating progression." —Cate McQuaid, Boston Globe
This groundbreaking exhibition examines a fascinating period (1598–1621) bracketed by the two giants of Spanish painting, El Greco and Velázquez. Discover the masterpieces of Philip III's court and the artists who flourished during his reign.
To separate themselves from Philip II's approach to governing, Philip III and his court "issued in a new style of grandeur" (in the words of their contemporary Gil González d'Avila), where gala celebrations, elaborate religious fiestas, building campaigns, and picture collecting were the order of the day. Much of the art produced at and for the court reflected this style, replacing the austere art created for Philip II with a more naturalistic and emotionally expressive art that became the hallmark of Philip III's reign.
"El Greco to Velázquez: Art during the Reign of Philip III" features paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts—including a partial recreation of the camarín of the Duke of Lerma, the most important non-royal collector in Europe at the time and the favorite of Philip III—organized around themes such as portraiture, religion and the court, and the birth of still life.
