The National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) is the temporary setting of the flamboyant Spanish art of the 17th century. It is a unique opportunity to get to know this neglected aspect of the Spanish Golden Age and to discover baroque art entirely committed to religious belief. In addition to renowned masters such as Murillo and Zurbarán, eight hyperrealist sculptures of the important baroque sculptor Pedro De Mena form the high point of the exhibition. They represent the most significant group of De Mena’s sculptures shown outside of Spain - worldwide. The exhibition illustrates that 17th century Spanish sculpture does not fail to meet the high standards determined by then contemporary painting.
