Seeing Spain: Artists and Dulwich Picture Gallery’s Spanish Paintings, 1800-50
This lecture, by Dulwich Picture Gallery curator Dr Lucy West, celebrates the loan of Prince Baltasar Carlos on Horseback, by the workshop of Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), to the Spanish Gallery at Auckland Palace.
Lucy uncovers the moment when Prince Baltasar Carlos’s likeness was loaned by the Gallery for the very first time – nearly two-hundred years ago, in 1829. Then, the painting was lent to the Royal Academy, London, to be studied and copied by students at the art school. It was one of various Spanish paintings – by Velázquez and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-82) – lent by Dulwich Picture Gallery to the Royal Academy during the nineteenth century, as part of an official loan system. Lucy’s lecture explores how artists at the Royal Academy, and in South East London, ‘translated’ Spanish art for the British art world and beyond.
