Enjoy the beauty of the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville, the second-largest art gallery in Spain. Together with a professional guide, learn the history and life behind each work of art that the museum displays through its galleries.
The museum is located in the old Convent of La Merced, in the heart of Seville. The building dates back to the 13th century and was remodelled in the 17th century. Here, you'll be able to enjoy not only the various exhibitions, but also the wonderful Renaissance and Baroque architecture as you stroll through its cloisters. The building has been a museum since 1835, housing works from convents and monasteries seized by the liberal government of Mendizábal.
You'll admire Sevillian Gothic works, great works of the Renaissance such as San Jerónimo Penitente of Torrigiano; Pacheco's pictorial series dedicated to the Mercedarians San Pedro Nolasco and San Román Nonato, representing Mannerism; Baroque works by great Sevillian and not so Sevillian artists such as Valdés Leal, Zurbarán or Alonso Cano.
Visit the spectacular room dedicated to Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and sculptures of historical figures such as Martínez Montañés or Juan de Mesa. The tour will end with the romanticism and costumbrismo of the late nineteenth century in Seville, with pictorial works by Gonzalo Bilbao, Antonio María Esquivel, or José Villegas Cordero.
Discover all the secrets of the artists who decorated such a beautiful monument in the historic centre of Seville.
