In the Italian Manner. Spain and the Mediterranean Gothic, 1320-1420
With the exhibition "In the Italian Style" (May 26, 2026 - September 20, 2026), the Prado Museum will bring us closer to a fascinating artistic period and it will show us: the use of technique as a means of expression in luxury works; the artistic exchanges derived from trade routes and diplomatic networks; the dialogues of the new Gothic culture with the Islamic world; or the need to replace traditional historiographical categories with more multifaceted and heterogeneous visions.
