To coincide with the exhibition, the museum is organising a series of lectures focusing on the Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916). Through four talks, a group of international experts and the curator will explore the work, creative process, sources of inspiration and historical context of an artist who remains relatively unknown to the Spanish public.
