This exhibition comprises 12 paintings from artists such as Taddeo Gaddi, Fra Angelico, Giambattista Piazzetta and Giacomo Ceruti, to commemorate the birth of Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza.
In 1993, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza deposited a significant number of its German and Italian paintings in the Monastery of Pedralbes in Barcelona. The paintings were later moved to the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya where they still remain today. In October 2020, a selection of these paintings came to the Museum in Madrid for the celebrations of the Baron’s birth.
