Seville Museum Features Spanish Painters
Seville is such a beautiful city in Spain, well, actually aren’t they all? And, like the others, Seville has its unique character, charm and splendor that relates to its history and culture and sets it apart from the rest. Many of the city’s buildings are also landmarks, or at least beautiful examples of historic architecture. Tourists staying in one of the luxury Seville hotels are also likely to spending their evenings and mornings in one of the beautiful historic buildings. This is also the case for one of the city’s major attractions, the Museum of Fine Arts Seville, or in Spanish El Museo de Bellas Artes de Seville. The museum has one of the largest collections of Spanish art dating from the Medieval period through to the 20th century. Some of the incredible artists represented include Francisco de Goya and Francisco Pacheco.
Goya was a major Spanish painter and was born in March of 1746. He is greatly respected as being one of the last of the Old Masters and also the first of the modern. It is extremely rare and impressive one an artist of any genre breaches an era, but especially when they contribute to the development of a new one. He was appointed by the painter to Charles III and was later made the court painter to Charles the IV. We was well known for his bold use of paint and the subversive element of his work. Some of his most well known paintings include the Nude Maja and the Clothed Maja. He is also known for the many phases and transitions his work went through and possessed the ability to great beautiful images but also some extremely dark and disturbing ones.
Francisco Pacheco was born in November of 1564. He is greatly remembered both for his paintings but also as a teacher. Part of his legacy includes a text book on painting that became the study source for painters in the 17th century. Some of his most highly known students include the painters Alonso Cano and Diego Velazquez. Pacheco himself studied the works of El Greco. One of his master pieces is considered to be his depiction of the Last Judgment, Lo Judici Final, which hangs in the Musee Goya in France.
