in the Alhambra

Baroque painting, one of the most representative manifestations of Andalusian art, has contributed a series of great names to the history of art – Zurbarán, Murillo, Alonso Cano and Palomino, to name just a few. Nowadays, many masterpieces from churches and convents disentailed in the 19th century are preserved and displayed in museums throughout Andalusia. Dialogues: Baroque paintings from Andalusian Museums exhibits 24 canvases from the collections of the Museums of Fine Art of Cordoba, Granada and Seville and from the Museum of Cadiz.
