Accessibility in the visit

Male portraits in the collection of the museum are the subject of a new capsule course aimed at all interested audiences and carried out in face-to-face and online versions.

Looking in depth at these works, some of which are among the museum’s masterpieces, analysing the evolution, transformation and persistence of the genre of portraiture within the history of western painting, and discovering the identities of both the sitters and the artists and subjects’ aims and intentions are among the aspects to be covered in the three sessions of the course. Analysing the different male stereotypes of each period and uncovering some of the surprising secrets hidden in these works are further themes that will complete the course’s content.

This activity will be led by professor Elisa Sopeña in the Museum's Assembly Hall and on the Microsoft Teams platform. Login details and documentation will be sent to online participants by e-mail.
