The arts in Spain blossomed during the 17th century, coinciding with the political rise of the Spanish Empire.

Join us on Saturday 25th May at 11am at the National Gallery, to discover the powerful and uniquely Spanish painting styles of Velázquez, Zurbarán and José Ribera.

In this guided art visit in Spanish, we will explore a fascinating period of Spanish history, flourishing in arts and literature.

This is a welcoming, fun, and friendly discussion-based tour in which you will put your Spanish into gear.

In a combination between an art history- and a Spanish language class, you will not only learn about art, but you will also be encouraged to be critical and express your own opinions.

Absolutely no knowledge of art is required, just an inquisitive mind and an interest to learn and exchange views.

The session will be run by art historian and native Spanish language teacher at Spanish House London.

The ideal level of Spanish to attend the tour is A2 and above (equivalent to Spanish House London Continuacion courses). You will be provided with a vocabulary list in advance, so that you can familiarise yourself with the words we will use in the tour.
