Museum of Fine Arts - Museum in Valencia, Spain |
|
Apart from being an amazingly beautiful building, Museo de Bellas Artes is the second biggest art museum in Valencia, the second most important art collection in Spain, and it has nothing to do with modern art. This huge museum is filled with works from 14th century to the 19th. The museum is largely dominated by 13th-15th century iconography and the golden age of 17th century Baroque. But there are also works from the Rennaissance and the 18-19th century movements. You can find Nicolau, Alcanyis, Peris, Mateu, Esteve, Ribaltas, Espinosa, El Greco, Murillo, March and even the occasional Ribera, van Dyck, Bosch, Velazquez and Goya. The museum hall holds one of the Benlliure's mystical power-shots. There are also many archeological items on display, from as far as the Iberian period. |
