Meninas Madrid Gallery

The Maids of Honour by Velázquez, so called Meninas sculptures are an open air art gallery in Madrid! You can find them on the streets, squares and avenues, as a way to express the vision of the city of their creators, diverse personalities from the world of art, film, sport and celebrities in general. If you are visiting Madrid, get the most unique experience with BE Apartment in the best luxury apartments in Madrid and other famous cities, for your security, pleasure and comfort. 

The initiative of Meninas Madrid Gallery reinterprets each of the Infant Margarita’s maids of honour in the famous painting by Velázquez in the form of a sculpture! The aim is to portray the plural identity of the Spanish capital through a street museum made up of more than 80 Meninas. The sculptures are made of fiberglass and have a life size of a person, 180cm high. Each one will carry an individual message and, together, they will help to reveal Velázquez’s “infinite message”. The Meninas Madrid Gallery intends to pay homage to the paradigmatic picture of the Spanish Golden Age. 

Meninas Madrid Gallery is created by the plastic artist, Antonio Azzato. This is an initiative that involves well known and emerging artists from all areas of creation, such as crafts, sculpture, painting and design, in which leading personalities from the world of culture will also participate. It is also a tribute to diversity, to freedom of expression, to everything that Madrid represents as a melting pot of cultures and artistic manifestations. 

Meninas Madrid Gallery project has a charitable character. At the end of the exhibition all the sculptures will be auctioned and 100% of the collection will go to charities. As they carry the signature of their authors, it will be a unique occasion for collectors. Do not miss an opportunity to enjoy and discover Madrid with BE Apartment.
