Dr Francesca Whitlum-Cooper, Curator interview with James Nicholls for The Art Review

BEHIND THE SCENES at the The National Gallery, London

One of the highlights of The Art Review was going behind the scenes at the National Gallery to interview Dr Francesca Whitlum-Cooper, Curator of the outstanding Zurbarán exhibition.

In our conversation, Dr Whitlum-Cooper explains why Francisco de Zurbarán is regarded as one of the greatest painters of the Spanish Baroque, and why his remarkable works continue to captivate audiences centuries later.

Celebrated for his dramatic use of light, extraordinary realism and profound humanity, Zurbarán created paintings of timeless beauty and emotional power.

If you have the opportunity, this landmark exhibition is well worth a visit.

QUESTION: Have you seen the exhibition, or which Spanish Old Master has most inspired you?

Our Thanks also to: The National Gallery, Tracy Jones, Alexandra Moskalenko and Dr Francesca Whitlum-Cooper.
