The MNAC, at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Lyon and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, will be exhibiting this exhibition for the first time in the three versions of the Vision of St. Francis of Assisi by Pope Nicholas V, a masterpiece by Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664). The exceptional possibility of confronting the three paintings gives light on each of them. The work that preserves the MNAC has undergone a profound restoration process that has allowed it to recover its original appearance and to remove the details hidden by the passage of time.
In the vision of St. Francis by Pope Nicholas V, Zurbarán depicts a legendary episode in which the Pope asked the Pope to see the mummified body of the saint in the crypt of the basi of ’Assisi. The painter condenses a complex narrative action by focusing on the essentials and shows us only the subjective vision of the Pope. Zurbarán has the figure of Saint Francis as a work of ’art in a museum, working with light, space and geometric construction. It gives him strength and a prodigious presence, making it seem that the mummy of the saint takes his own life. From the contemplation of the real, the images transport us beyond reality, or inside, their soul.
This exhibition will also bring together other works by Zurbarán, among them the two twin versions, which are very different from his famous still life’atuells, the Museo del Prado and the Museu Nacional ’d’Art de Catalunya. In these paintings, Zurbarán creates an aesthetic of the emptiness, the distance and the presence, and the silence, where we do not distinguish the everyday life of the religious mystery.

Park Güell

Historic buildings

M86***49

G&uuml;ell Park is full of fairy tales, and Gaudi blends nature and architecture seamlessly. The winding paths, colorful mosaic benches, and roofs like dragon&#39;s back, each detail is ingenious. The high point of the park has an excellent view, overlooking the entire Barcelona, and the scenery of the city and the sea and sky is intoxicating. Walking in the park, it feels like traveling in a dream picture, and from time to time you can meet the performances of street artists, adding a lot of life. It is a place that can enjoy the scenery and feel the artistic imagination.

Casa Batlló

The Bartholomew House looks fantastic, like a dream, and Gaudi&#39;s flowing lines and mosaics have transformed the building into a work of art. Inside, each room has a unique design, with the change of light from door handles, ceilings and windows. On the roof, the colorful chimneys and wavy lines make people feel like they are in a fairy tale world. The whole tour was like experiencing the architect&#39;s whims, with every step of the way surprises completely subverting my imagination of &quot;house.&quot;

Picasso Museum Barcelona

Museums

I was impressed by the Picasso Museum, especially the evolution of his work from his teenage years to his maturity. My favorites are his blue period and cubism, and I can feel the expression of his emotions and the uniqueness of his creations when I appreciate it. The museum&rsquo;s architecture is also charming, with a sense of history in the five ancient palaces. Although there are many exhibits in the museum, the layout is reasonable and it doesn&rsquo;t look crowded. If you are interested in art, this is definitely a place worth exploring in depth

National Art Museum of Catalonia
