Description

(Local Name: Museo de Bellas Artes) In the western part of the old town of Seville, reached from the Plaza del Duque by way of Calle de Alfonso XII, is the 17th century Convento de la Merced, now occupied by the Museum of Art, which has the finest collection of pictures in Spain after the Prado in Madrid, particularly of the works by 17th century Spanish painters. The museum is currently undergoing a thorough reorganization, with the result that only two rooms are at present open where the most important paintings of the collection are on show. In the smaller room Spanish masters of the 18th to 20th centuries are represented; in the fine main room are works of the 15th to 17th centuries.
