EL LEGADO MONTPENSIER AL AYUNTAMIENTO DE SEVILLA

Abstract

In 1898 the heirs of the Infanta Maria Luisa Fernanda, Duchess of Montpensier, donated to the Town Council of Seville 51 canvasses, which adorned the main staircase of the Palace of San Telmo. They form a collection of illustrious individuals from the world of the arts, letters and the military pro­fession, as well as of royalty. They are basically the work of Antonio Cabra! Bejarano and his sons, and of Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer, and include copies of works by Murillo, Zurbarán and others.
