Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia. Between Bosch and Sorolla

From 28 February to 14 July, the María Cristina Masaveu Peterson Foundation will present an exhibition that brings together more than one hundred masterpieces from the Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia. It is the first time that the Valencian gallery has organised a chronological exhibition of all its holdings at another venue, enabling visitors in Madrid to discover the wealth of its collection.

Curated by Pablo González Tornel, Director of the Museum of Fine Arts and the leading authority on its collection, the exhibition covers the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century and includes works by Gherardo Starnina, Joan Reixach, Joan de Joanes, Hieronymus Bosch, Marteen de Vos, Vicente Macip, José de Ribera, Rubens, Ribalta, Benlliure, Ignacio Pinazo, Muñoz Degraín or Sorolla, among others.    

The exhibition will raise awareness of the heritage of one of Spain’s greatest Fine Arts Museums outside the Valencia region, enriching the city’s cultural programme and proving that a public-private partnership can make the arts more accessible to society as a whole.
