The Marquis of Santillana. Words and images
Museo Nacional del Prado. Madrid 10/4/2022 - 1/8/2023
Curated by Joan Molina, Head of the Department of Spanish Gothic Painting at the Museo Nacional del Prado, and in collaboration with the Biblioteca Nacional de España, this exhibition outlines, for the first time, a joint presentation of a group of paintings and manuscripts commissioned by the Marqués de Santillana complemented with other works by Jorge Inglés –his favorite painter– and a series of codices owned by some contemporary figures who shared the hobbies of the Castilian nobleman. It is possible to approach it thanks to the presence of the Altarpiece of Los Gozos in the Prado, a deposit of the XIX Duke of the Infantado, Íñigo de Arteaga y Martín.
In homage to Javier Docampo and Fernando Villaseñor, the exhibited works will cover the cultural and aesthetic interests of the Marquis of Santillana, a fundamental character in the development of Castilian language and an innovative artistic promoter of the 15th century.
