Ciencia y Caridad
You’ll see why this large-scale piece, which started when the artist was only 15 years old, is considered to be Picasso’s first masterpiece. Encouraged by his father, José Ruiz Blasco, Picasso began work on the extra-large canvas. The name Ciencia y Caridad translates to Science and Charity, a popular subject at the time. It depicts a medical scene with a young woman in a bed, surrounded by a doctor and a nun holding a small child.
Café ‘Royan’
Depicting a French café in the seaside village of Royan, this famous painting holds a lot of historical significance. In what began as a simple, black-and-white sketch, Picasso shares his turbulent emotions while experiencing the realities of WWII. Learn about Picasso’s time in this part of southwestern France, and why it was such a troubling period for the artist and the world at large.
Las Meninas
Explore the hidden messages within this conversation-making series. This collection of vibrant works is meant to be a conversation between the original, by Diego Velázquez, and Picasso’s stylistic interpretation of the Spanish royal family. Velázquez’s version featured the bright, richly-gilded figure of the Infanta Margaret Theresa, daughter of King Philip IV and Queen Mariana. Picasso created 45 different interpretations in order to inspire viewers to consider Spain’s imperial past in relation to its present day, and perhaps, its future.
