About the Hispanic Society Of America’s Renaissance and Baroque collection
The Hispanic Society Of America’s holdings of Renaissance and Baroque painting in New York sit among the most significant surviving collections of pre-modern European art. The works in this group — 3 paintings — span the themes of daily life, portrait and the hands of artists from Francisco Goya.
If you’re planning a visit, use this page as a starting list of the must-see paintings. If you’re researching from a desk, each painting page goes deeper than a museum label: the patron, the symbolism a 17th-century viewer would have recognised, the technique under the surface, and where the painting fits in Hispanic Society Of America’s longer history.
