The Arts Society Isle of Wight will be presenting a special all-day collection of lectures on The Spanish Golden Age on Wednesday 30th October at The Pavillion, Newchurch.
Presented by Dr. Jacqueline Cockburn, The Spanish Golden Age was a time of extraordinary changes in a country which had been under Islamic rule for 800 years. The dominance of the Catholic Church, a powerful inquisition and the discovery of a New World, all converge and are visible in the art created at the time. This series will explore El Greco in Toledo, Spanish Still Life painting and Velazquez’s time in Madrid under Habsburg rule.
