The Prado museum in Madrid, Spain, dedicates an exhibition to Raphael Sanzio and his workshop. This exhibition is very particular, because is devoted to the last years of the master’s life, when he lived and worked in Rome, as one of the most influential artists of his time. One cannot speak of Raphael Sanzio in a few words. This is only a simple invitation to know him following different paths characterized by spaces and emotions. The exhibit includes more than seventy signed works, paintings and drawings, all of them created in his last seven years of life; from the start…

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Soon after graduating I shared a theatrical house with several colleagues in the central streetof La Bola in Madrid. It was a lovely house in a wonderful location. My roommates hada poster of two girls hanging to the light of the window. At first sight, I thought the poster was oftwo African girls. I probably imagine that because the colors were green and brown.

Just a couple of…
Chagall in Madrid Thyssen Bornemitza Museum
The exhibition traces the evolution of Chagall life Marc Chagall developed a highly expressive and colourist pictorial style that was closely linked to his own life and to the religious and popular traditions of the Russian Jewish community.

A tireless creator and one always open to new experiences…
Picasso with us
I was born the same year that Picasso died. Today is the 130th birthday of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), whose artistic genius has influenced the development of modern and contemporary art with unparalleled magnitude.

At this year in Spain a lond awaited democracy is still being consolidated.It has come…
A painting filled with mystery
I love going back to Venice. There is no other place comparable in the world.My intention was to visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and write about it … but my room’s view was the wooden bridge spanning the Grand Canal just in front of the Gallerie de la Accademia and the temptation to go back to the Galleria was too strong to resist. I had not been there since a long time ago and did not remember the decadent and chaotic state of the rooms, which produce an intense halo of romance. Two months ago I had the…
