Divino Morales
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, from June 17th to September 25th 2016

This exhibition offers a vindication of the work of El Divino, so called because, as Antonio Palomino wrote as early as the eighteenth century "everything he painted were sacred things." The fifty-four selected works are distributed in five sections, which begin with one of the most important and monumental paintings of Morales, La Virgen del pajarito, dated in 1546.
