The Painter Antoni Viladomat i Manalt (1678-1755). The Graphic Work of a Forerunner

Centring on the figure of Antoni Viladomat, this exhibition is an ambitious project being held simultaneously in various venues around the country, relating the events of 1714 with the artistic activity of the time. Antoni Viladomat i Manalt (1678-1755) was the figure who was to take over from the generation of painters who died in the siege and his art is a continuation of the preceding pictorial tradition, but at the same time it marks a path towards a new concept of art based on liberalisation of the trade and academic practice. The project is made up a total of five exhibitions and will show, for the first time and in all its breadth and ambition, the complete works of the artist.
