This exhibition showcases the contemporary work of Miguel Ángel Blanco, fostering a dialogue between his art and the collection of the Museo del Romanticismo. The display explores the symbolic significance of deer and their artistic representation during the Romantic period.
The exhibition "El aura de los ciervos. Miguel Ángel Blanco" invites visitors to experience a dialogue between contemporary creation and the historical works within the Museo del Romanticismo. Artist Miguel Ángel Blanco draws inspiration from a 19th-century engraving by Fernando Brambilla, depicting deer in the vicinity of Riofrío Palace, to curate a selection of pieces that delve into the fascination with deer. This animal, imbued with ancestral symbolic meaning, was a recurring motif throughout Romantic art. The exhibition highlights various facets of its artistic representation during that era. Complementing the artworks are eight 'libro-caja' (book-boxes) from the Biblioteca del Bosque, seven of which were created specifically for this show. The exhibition culminates in an installation featuring empty metopes and a collection of antlers, symbolizing the release of the deer's aura, and is enhanced by a sound intervention that evokes the natural sounds of nature. This exhibition is part of the 'Nuevas Miradas' program.
Admission to the temporary exhibition is free. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and Sundays and holidays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
