Organised at the same time and within the same space as the monographic exhibition devoted to the painter Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664), which allows for interplay of gazes thanks to a jointly designed scenography, the exhibition invites visitors to discover 17th-century Spanish sculpture.
It consists largely of religious sculptures in polychrome wood with striking naturalism, which help to better understand the cultural and religious atmosphere in which the works of the great Spanish painters of the same period are situated, foremost among them Zurbarán, Velázquez or Murillo, at a time when the links between painting and sculpture were very close.
