El Greco to Velazquez: Art During the Reign of Philip III

This groundbreaking exhibition examines a fascinating period (1598–1621) bookended by the two giants of Spanish painting: the late works of El Greco and the early paintings of Velázquez.

Discover the masterpieces of Philip III’s court and the artists who flourished in his reign.

“El Greco to Velázquez: Art during the Reign of Philip III” features paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts—including a partial recreation of the camarín of the Duke of Lerma, possibly the most important non-royal collector in Europe at the time and the favorite of Philip III—organized around themes such as portraiture, religion and the court, and still life and the birth of naturalism.
