Sota Family. Art and patronage

Rooms 1-5

This exhibition revisits the figure of Ramón de la Sota y Llano (1857-1936), the origin of one of the most outstanding episodes of private collecting and patronage during the first decades of the 20th century in Bilbao.

Francisco de Goya's Vuelo de brujas - on loan from the Museo del Prado - acts as a chronological axis between the ancient works of art of Luis de Morales "el Divino", El Greco, Cornelis van der Voort or Juan Carreño de Miranda, and the modernity of Darío de Regoyos, Adolfo Guiard, Ramón Casas, Ignacio Zuloaga, Aurelio Arteta or Antonio de Guezala, among others.
