MEMBERS'TRIP
National Gallery of Art | Washington, D.C.
Armor from the renowned Spanish Royal Armory in Madrid will be paired for the first time with portraits by masters such as Peter Paul Rubens, Alonso Sánchez Coello, Anthony van Dyck, and Diego Velázquez depicting emperors and kings wearing the same armor in The Art of Power: Royal Armor and Portraits from Imperial Spain on display at the National Gallery of Art. This unprecedented exhibition, which explores how armor was used to cultivate the image of royal power in late fifteenth- to eighteenth-century Spain, highlights some seventy-five armors and paintings, in addition to magnificent tapestries and works on paper that depict armor worn in the courtly, chivalric context of parades, pageants, and jousting tournaments and occasionally, battles.
