The Course offers a series of art history lectures on “The Magnificent Age of the Baroque” and will focus on how people lived – their homes, their decor, their fashion, their rituals – and how this was reflected in some of the most magnificent art of the age.
The Spanish Inquisition organised ceremonies called auto da fe to combine a show of might with another important ceremonial occasion. One is represented in a work by Madrid painter Francesco Rizi. Another Madrid painter Claudio Coello was also a documenter of contemporary spectacles.
