Camino mural in Manhattan — with a side trip to the Hispanic Society

[peregrina2000]

I just saw that a gallega artist who lives in Manhattan has almost finished her Camino mural. It’s not huge, but it is located on a wall in prime real estate of Manhattan. She got funding from the Spanish Consulate and the Xunta.

Laurie,
That imaginary path through the stars is such a great idea.
A special stop further uptown at W. 155th St to visit the Spanish views at the Hispanic Society might have been appropriate before going through those distant stars to Santiago.
Thanks for posting this!

The last two times I have been in NYC, the Hispanic Society was closed. I just checked their website and they are still closed but have announced a January 2023 reopening.

The Sorolla collection is totally amazing, but I haven’t seen it in many years. It is kind of mind-boggling that the Hispanic Society gets about 20,000 visitors a year. When they closed for their renovation, they sent a bunch of the Sorolla paintings to the Prado, which gets more than 2,000,000 visitors a year. No doubt those Sorollal paintings were enjoyed by many more people than will ever enjoy them in New Yorkl.

I always enjoyed going there when in grad school. In fact when JFK was shot I was reading in their library and suddenly all the bells in NYC began to toll; the city then shut down.

This is the mural today on a cold cloudy windy NY afternoon it’s on the northwest corner of 45th st close to 2nd Ave. Laurie, we came up here just for you.
The Hispanic Society Museum will potentially open on April 6th.

There’s an exhibition of (a 100 or so) items from the Hispanic Society at the Royal Academy in London for anyone who can get there. I spent an hour looking at the three pieces of Bell Beaker pottery and the silverware from Tiermes.
The 19th & 20th century paintings aren’t my bag but were drawing a crowd

Three items from that exhibition. I liked the Goya too "Are there Fleas?". Very pilgrim....

Wow, thanks. I haven’t been to the Hispanic Society in decades. My focus always was on Sorolla’s portraits of regional Spain. But there is apparently so much more, so I’ll just have to get back there. I had no idea what “Bell Beaker” referred to, so thanks for giving me something to look up! 4,500 years old is prettty old. And those spoons, from Tiermes, wow.

Prior to closing for renovations, the museum got about 20,000 visitors annually. Contrast that with the 3.5 million to the Prado. In fact, when they had their Hispanic Society exhibit in the Prado a few years ago, more people saw the collection in a week or so than the yearly visitors in the US! A huge part of the impetus for the renovation has been to get this place on the radar screen of the people living in and visiting New York.

It has been closed for 6 years for extensive renovations ($20 million), and @El Cascayal says re-opening is coming soon. But that’s only for the main building, and that still leaves a lot of renovations to do, to the tune of 4 more years and $50 million). Sounds like it will be years before the whole collection is open to the putlic. Would love to hear from any forum members who get there to see the new place. My guess is that the exhibit Tinca visited is not going to be accessible in the US for a few more years, but it looks like it will be worth the wait.

For anyone who can get there soon https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/spain-hispanic-world is well worth the visit. Sadly its closing on 10 April.

Does include Sorolla's sketches for Vision of Spain
