21/5/2024 - 22/9/2024
Until 22 September and in an almost unprecedented manner, all the temporary exhibition galleries in the Prado presents Art and Social Change in Spain (1885-1910). With the sole sponsorship of Fundación BBVA, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity on a scale never previously seen in Spain to learn more about painting’s move towards social themes of a type that had previously been largely absent or only rarely depicted.
The diversity of techniques and creative registers in the almost 300 works that comprise the exhibition - many never previously exhibited - make it possible to illustrate artists’ very wide range of responses to the challenge of representing the transformations taking place in the society their day through aspects of it rarely depicted in art up to that point. These include industrial and women’s work, education, illness and medicine, workplace accidents, prostitution, emigration, poverty and ethnic and social marginalisation, colonialism, strikes, anarchism and demonstrations.
