SPANISH art belonging to one of the region’s most popular museums will feature in a special exhibition in London.
The Wallace Collection, in Manchester Square, will stage ‘El Greco to Goya - Spanish Masterpieces from The Bowes Museum’ in September.
Spanning three centuries, the exhibition will explore one of the largest collections of Spanish Art in the world, featuring paintings acquired by John and Joséphine Bowes in the 1860s and now housed at their museum in Barnard Castle.
It also celebrates the partnership between the two museums, which were both the product of a family’s obsession with collecting art.
The Bowes Museum’s director, Adrian Jenkins, said “As we mark 125 years since the creation of the museum, it is highly appropriate that the key works from this collection should be shared with London audiences, in keeping with John and Joséphine Bowes’ belief that great art should be made accessible to all.”
