THE GUEVARA AND THE FLEMISH PAINTING.

Dr Ana Diéguez Rodríguez, Director of the Instituto Moll, and Dr Elena Vázquez Dueñas, External Researcher of this Centre, have just made public The Collectionism of the Guevara's Family. Two Annunciations in Study in the journal Ars Bilduma.

In this paper, the researchers connect to the Guevara two Flemish paintings depicting the Annunciation as well as the coat of arms belonging to that noble family so close to the Habsburgs' court. These works of art were painted between the end of the 15th century and the begining of the 16th, and they are respectively located at the birthplace of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and at a private collection.
