The National Museum of Sculpture, with the collaboration of Acción Cultural Española, joins the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Academy. Within the framework of the program of commemorative activities, the exhibition Intersectio is presented. Ydáñez/Bussy that can be visited in Valladolid from April 20 to July 16, 2023.
From this event, a dialogue is proposed between a current artist, such as Santiago Ydáñez, who was a resident of the Academy in 2016-2017, with the collections of the National Museum of Sculpture.
Ydañez frequently uses the great masters of the Baroque as models, so his work reinforces the idea that polychrome sculpture continues to be a source of inspiration for contemporary art, also confirming the vocation of public museums as free and open spaces for creativity.
The intervention proposes the installation, in rooms 5, 8, 9, 14 and 20, of a selection of sculptures and paintings that maintain a conceptual, material or iconographic relationship with the sculptures of Berruguete, Juni or Fernández.
One of the strong points of the intervention will be the dialogue between the sculpture by Ydáñez de Cristo as La Fuente with an exceptional piece from the Iglesia del Carmen in Murcia: the Cristo de la Sangre by Nicolás de Bussy (1693, rebuilt in 1940). .
