Paintings of Soares dos Reis Museum at MNAA

23 de November, 2023

The temporary exhibition “Shared Identities – Spanish Painting in Portugal” opens on 30 November at 6pm at the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon.

 

The exhibition, open to the public until 30 March 2024, will include four paintings loaned by the Soares dos Reis National Museum.

 

The presence of Spanish painting in Portugal is a consequence of the cultural relations that existed between the two neighbouring countries and took the form of collecting, diplomatic offers, ecclesiastical patronage and, more recently, acquisitions by museums and private and public institutions.

The exhibition was preceded by an important campaign of restoration, research and valorisation of Spanish paintings. It is curated by Joaquim Oliveira Caetano, director of the National Museum of Ancient Art, and Benito Navarrete, professor of art history at Complutense University, and is part of the cultural activities of the Spanish Presidency of the European Union.
