The art of Jean-Leon Gerome will soon be on display at
Madrid's Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza museum.
Running from February 15th to May 22nd 2011, the exhibition will be the first major
monographic collection of his work for around 30 years.
The venue joined forces with the J Paul Getty Museum and the Musee d'Orsay to put
together the installation of Gerome's art.
During 2010, the Los Angeles and Paris arts spaces showcased the collection and this
month will see the Spanish capital take its turn.
Gerome was a 19th century painter and sculptor, who is most famous for pieces such
as Prayer, Excursion of the Harem and Death of Marshal Ney.
There are 55 of his works in the exhibition and the organisers hope to highlight how
the Frenchman used realism in his art and what effect this creates for the
appreciator.
Admission to the exhibition costs €7 (£5.90), with tickets available to purchase
online.
The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 19:00 local time.
One of the many Madrid hotels offered by LateRooms.com is the Westin Palace Madrid, which is located within walking distance of several of the
city's major museums.
