The Century of Gold: Spanish Art in the age of Velázquez
Lecturer: Isabelle Kent, art historian specialising in Spanish art.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Spain rose as the great superpower with an empire spanning the globe. This vast wealth, alongside the renewed Catholic fervour of the counter reformation kickstarted the Spanish siglo d’oro – literally the century of gold – the great flourishing of painting, sculpture, literature and music. The lecture explores this period, looking at the historical moment and vast array of art including pictures recognised as among the greatest of all time.
