Discover "Lope. Las entretelas del Siglo de Oro": An Exhibition of Spanish Golden Age Film Costumes

This exhibition showcases costumes and props recreated for the film 'LOPE', offering a glimpse into the Spanish Golden Age. It highlights the historical accuracy and artistic interpretation of attire from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, exploring the transposition of historical dress in period films.

The exhibition 'Lope. Las entretelas del Siglo de Oro' presents a collection of costumes and props created for Andrucha Waddington's film 'LOPE'. Due to the fragility of historical garments, particularly those from before the 18th century, direct remnants are scarce. This exhibition therefore relies on documentary sources such as painting, engraving, sculpture, and literature to reconstruct the clothing of Spain's Golden Age. Curator Tatiana Hernández, approaching the project with extensive written and graphic documentation, aimed to create a lived-in and natural wardrobe that maintained historical rigor while adapting it for the film's narrative. The result is a collection of costumes that serve as a conduit to understanding not only how costume designers translate historical attire for period films but also the broader sartorial landscape of the Spanish Empire's peak era, a time when Spanish fashion dictated European trends. Visitors can examine the principal characteristics of late 16th and early 17th-century clothing, offering a unique perspective on the daily life and appearance of the Golden Age through Hernández's interpretation.
