ARTES is excited to plan an enthralling short trip to Spain in early December to visit two major exhibitions: One monographic shjow at the Museo Nacional de Escultura in Valladolid, dedicated to the Baroque Sculptor Luisa Roldán (1652-1706), and the other to a major show on sculpture at the Museo Nacional del Prado: Hand in Hand. Sculpture and Colour in the Golden Age.
Proposed Itinerary:
Tuesday 3 December: Museo Nacional de Escultura (Valladolid) – Luisa Roldán exhibition with curators, and the renowned Roldán Expert Catherine Hall-van den Elsen and ARTES President, Holly Trusted.
Wednesday 4 December: Museo del Prado (Madrid) – Visit the exhibition Hand in Hand with the curator Manuel Arias, followed by a visit at 5pm to Factum Arte Madrid, an interesting company specialising in reproductions. (Glass of wine included).
Thursday 5 December: Royal Collections Madrid; details to be confirmed.
As usual, ARTES members are advised to book their own transport and accommodation. Valladolid is approximately two hours from Madrid by train. If you wish to attend the visit, please notify Piers Baker-Bates via email (piers.baker-bates@open.ac.uk) by 30th June.
