Neo-classical sculpture on show at Museu Frederic Mares
Until September 27th, the museum will host an exhibition dedicated to Antoni Sola, one of Spain’s greatest neo-classical sculptors.
Born in 1780, Sola moved to Rome in 1803 and eventually became one of only two foreigners ever to hold the post of president at the Accademia di San Luca.
He achieved most of his fame and success in the Italian capital and was a significant supporter of the city’s neo-classical art movement, which was associated with themes such as idealised beauty.
Travellers visiting Barcelona will find the Museu Frederic Mares in the city’s Ciutat Vella district.
The museum is one of many cultural institutions in the Catalan capital, along with the Museu Picasso and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya.
