Book presentation: the Sixena paintings

The Faculty of ARts & Humanities of the UAB is organising on 27 May at 1:00 p.m. the presentation of the book Les Pintures de Sixena. Un foc que enca crema. The activity will take place in the Periodicals Room of the UAB Humanities Library.

The work of Albert Velasco, lecturer in History at the University of Lleida, offers an immersive journey to learn about the origins of the National Art Museum of Catalonia through one of the most important paintings in Europe from the end of the Romanesque period, between the 12th and 13th centuries. The event will begin with an opening speech by Carles Sànchez, vice-dean of Communication at the Faculty of Arts & Humanities of the UAB. There will also be a round table discussion with Velasco, Sànchez and Jesús Brufal, lecturer in Ancient and Medieval Sciences at the UAB.
