What does that doll signify, and why did the painter decide to depict it? Why was Carmen Laffón so enamored with the landscape of Sanlúcar de Barrameda? What techniques did she use, and to which artistic movement does the second woman to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando belong? To understand the work of this Sevillian painter and the first major retrospective organized by the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum following her death, one must always view the works within their context.

To accompany visitors on this journey, we have produced an audio guide that takes them along the Guadalquivir River, stopping at the artist’s most representative works. This new tour of the art museum has been integrated into our PWA, which immerses visitors in both our permanent collection and that of Carmen Thyssen.
