In the Italian Manner. Spain and the Mediterranean Gothic (1320-1420)
May 26 to September 20, 2026
Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain
The Museo Nacional del Prado, in partnership with Fundación BBVA, is presenting "In the Italian Manner. Spain and the Mediterranean Gothic, 1320–1420" (26 May – 20 September 2026), an exhibition that explores how Italy profoundly shaped Spanish art long before the Renaissance — through the arrival of Italian artists like Gherardo Starnina, who travelled to Toledo and Valencia, and the import of works that brought new aesthetic, technical, and iconographic innovations to the Iberian kingdoms. Curated by Joan Molina Figueras, the show features over one hundred works spanning painting, sculpture, goldsmithing, illuminated manuscripts, embroidery, and silk textiles, by both Italian masters such as Ambrogio Lorenzetti and Barnaba da Modena and local artists like the Serra brothers and Ferrer Bassa, loaned from 56 institutions across Spain and abroad.
