The majority of the collection at the Meadows Art Museum focuses on the Spanish “Golden Age.” From the 1550s to nearly the beginning of the 18th century, Spain experienced a flowering of the arts. The Meadows collection contains masterworks by Velázquez, Murillo, Ribera, and many others working during this time.
