Andalusian Painting at the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville

The Museum of Fine Arts in Seville is putting on an exhibition between the 8th of March and 29th May called “Images & Myths in Andalusian Painting, Bellver Collection,” and will display many of the key Andalusian paintings from 1830-1950.

The show, which will be divided into seven different sections, consists of 171 pieces from the Mariano Bellver collection, and will be held in the fifth room of the Seville museum. Though the majority of the artists exhibited are from Seville, there will also be the work of artists from other parts of Spain who have chosen to show their work in Andalusia.

One of the sections of the museum is about the arrival of artists to Andalusia from countries such as England and France, who helped to bring about the birth of romantic painting in Spain. Another section, called “Romantic Customs” will include the work of Federico M. Eder, Cabral Bejarano, Domínguez Bécquer and Cortés Aguilar, along with others from the middle of the 19th century.

In “Andalusian painters in Italy” – as the name suggests – is the work of José Villegas Cordero and Rafael Senet Pérez. As you journey through the seven sections of the exhibition, you are able to follow the evolution of painting in Andalucia through time, up until the 1950s.
