The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has attended together with Their Majesties the Kings, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia, in the Palace of Carlos V of Granada the inauguration of the exhibition “Odaliscas. From Ingres to Picasso” that the Board of the Alhambra and the Generalife presents.

The exhibition reflects on the creation of the myth of the odalisque and how its figure became one of the great topics of art history throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and a key theme that runs through the century. It is depicted through greater aesthetic transformations of Western painting, showing the validity and importance of the traditional female nude.

This exhibition, made up of pieces by artists including Délacroix, Chasseriau, Gérôme, Constant, Bernard, and Matisse, can be visited from June 11 to September 10 and includes paintings from different museums and collections, as well as utensils, ornaments and various items of the Alhambra Museum.
