| Velazquez, El Greco, Goya & The Spanish Masters | ||||||||||||
| This programme examines the beginnings of Spanish Baroque painting. Religious paintings of the late 15th and early 16th centuries tackled questions of justice while the Inquisition went on around the artists. Some artists blossomed under Church patronage, others were persecuted as heretics. The programme shows works from artists such as Luis Morales, El Greco and Jose de Riebera. | ||||||||||||
