Mater Dolorosa, 1675
Andrea de Mena
Polychrome wood
The daughter of Pedro de Mena (whose St Acisclus is shown nearby), Andrea played a significant role in her father’s workshop. In 1671, she entered the convent of St Anne in Málaga but continued to work as a sculptor. While her work is clearly indebted to the example of her father, her style is more subtle, as is evident in the way she portrays the Virgin’s anguish and Christ’s suffering.*

Spain and the Hispanic World: Treasures from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library
(January - April 2023)
From masterpieces by Goya and Velázquez to dazzling objects from Latin America, explore the art and culture of the Hispanic world in this landmark exhibition.
Discover the rich story of Spanish and Hispanic art and culture from the ancient world to the early 20th century through over 150 fascinating works: from masterpieces by El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez and Goya to sculptures, paintings, silk textiles, ceramics, lustreware, silverwork, precious jewellery, maps, drawings, illuminated manuscripts and stunning decorative lacquerware from Latin America.
The exhibition features the famous World Map of 1526 by Giovanni Vespucci, and culminates with Sorolla’s colourful, large-scale study for his monumental series of 14 paintings, Vision of Spain.
Founded in New York in 1904, the Hispanic Society Museum & Library is home to the most extensive collection of Spanish art outside of Spain. Presented for the first time in the UK, it will offer visitors a chance to trace the great diversity of cultures and religions – from Celtic to Islamic, Jewish and Christian – that have shaped and enriched what we today understand as Spanish culture.

Most of Denali National Park is closed to cars. If you want to travel into the park, you pay to ride a park bus along the one access road ... which I far prefer to the Yellowstone option of waiting in private car traffic jam. I wish they would do this in every national park.
The bus stopped at a rest area 40 miles in at Polychrome Pass. We left the bus here and spent a few hours in the backcountry, seeing some of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen.
There is, theoretically, a glacier at the far end of this valley.
