Entre Luces y Sombras
After almost a hundred years under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty, in 1579, seven provinces in the northern Netherlands, what we know today as Holland, revolted against Spanish imperialism and the imposition of the Catholic faith. As a result, what was once a united region, with a common history, culture, and language, was divided into two: the Protestant Dutch Republic and the Spanish Netherlands or Flanders, a territory equivalent to what is now Belgium.
The Visions of Proteus: Ferré and Martorell at Calle Cristina
The summer of 1961 marks a before and after in the artistic career of maestro Antonio Martorell. It is then that he meets Don Luis A. Ferré for the first time, whom he finds with "hammer and nail in hand" installing a work in the recently inaugurated Museo de Arte de Ponce at 70 Calle Cristina, the original location of the Museum and today of the Centro Cultural de Ponce Carmen Solá de Pereira. Ferré immediately recognizes the potential of the budding artist and in a gesture of generosity that boostshis career, awards him a scholarship to study in Madrid for a year.
