¡¡Hola amigos!!
Last night in Madrid it was
La noche de los Museos (museums´night)
A night event that gives you the possibility of getting in the main Museums of Madrid for free, from 7 in the afternoon...
until 1 in the morning!
I went to see an exhibition that I really wanted to see since a few months ago,
actually I thought I was over already,
but you still have until May 30th to go and see it!
in the Thyssen Musseum:
in the Thyssen Musseum:
you can see how easy it seems
to make a beautiful drawing just with a few wipes!
He made a lot of drawings about reflections and light studies,
he just loved, as you can see, the nenufars...
And after that, we had time still to go see the famous
MUSEO DEL PRADO
with the typical drawings they have in their permanent exposition,
and their special guess this days,
placed near the Meninas to be able to compare them...
La obra invitada:
Las hijas de Edward Darley Boit, Sargent
placed right by
the Meninas, Velazquez
As the own Museum says...
"Sargent profoundly admired Velázquez’s work and studied and copied a number of his paintings during his trip to Spain of 1879.
Sargent’s copy of Las meninas, which is much smaller than the original, reveals how he faithfully captured the underlying composition and its structure as well as the placement and lighting of the individual figures, all elements that he brilliantly adapted in his family portrait of the Boit sisters painted only three years later.
The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit (1882) was commissioned by the girls’ father, Edward Darley Boit, an American collector and himself a painter, whom Sargent met in Paris."
