From El Greco to Dalí

From El Greco to Dalí: Great Spanish Masters from the Pérez Simón Collection is the name of the exhibition organized by the San Diego Museum of Art (California), which analyzes Spanish art from the 16th century to the 1970s.

This survey features 64 works drawn from one of the world’s finest private collections and showcases such acclaimed masters of the Spanish school as El Greco, Ribera, Murillo, Goya, Sorolla, Picasso, Dalí and Miró.


Visitors to the exhibition will also be invited to discover artists little-known in the U.S., such as the Romantic Manuel Barrón y Carrillo, or the Modernist Romero de Torres. They will have the chance to see Ribera's Saint Jerome, Murillo's Immaculate Conception, and Goya's Doña María Teresa de Vallabriga y Rozas. The exhibition will also feature six works by Salvador Dalí, among them his monumental Ascension of Christ, and the diptych Gala's Christ.
