Goya (1746-1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and throughout his long and successful career was a commentator and chronicler of his era.

The King and Queen of Spain visited Fuendetodos on Monday to attend several events commemorating the 275th anniversary of Francisco de Goya’s birth.

Their Majesties visited the house of Goya's birthplace which houses the exhibition 'Sapristi! Tribute to Goya'. They continued to Ignacio Zuloaga Exhibition House, where they held a brief meeting with representatives of the Goya Foundation in Aragon and saw the exhibition 'Solana versus Goya. Mask and simulation', by José Gutiérrez Solana. They later toured the 'Antonio Saura' Engraving Workshop and the Engraving Museum, where they explored rooms dedicated to Goya's four series of engravings, Los Caprichos, Los Desastres de la Guerra, La Tauromaquia and Los Disparates.

At the Fuendetodos Space, Their Majesties presided over the meeting of the Goya Foundation in Aragón and Goya Fuendetodos Cultural Consortium Board of Trustees. Filmmaker, Carlos Saura, presented the project 'Filmando a Goya'. Concluding their visit, they had a brief meeting with the attendees.

She brought back the white textured bell sleeve jacket which has been in her closet since 2008.

The designer of the piece has remained unknown, however I believe I may have finally solved the origin of the jacket! In the photo below I can see the Burberry logo engraved on the black oversized buttons. It feels so good to put this ID to rest!

UPDATE: @ModeMathilde tells me the jacket is available at Vestiaire Collective.

Letizia teamed her black & white Hugo Boss striped sweater with the unidentified black cropped tie-waist trousers she debuted recently for a visit to Toledo.

On Friday the 26th of March, the King and Queen of Spain concluded their two day State Trip to the Principality of Andorra.

On Friday the 26th of March, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain concluded their two day State Trip to the Principality of Andorra.

Their day began with a visit to the María Moline Spanish School, which is one of the six Spanish public schools in the principality. During their visit, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia had the opportunity to converse with teachers and students where they were informed of the educational model in the Pyrenean country. They also revealed a commemorative plaque, toured the College's facilities, and visited the Natural Sciences laboratory. Afterwards, Their Majesties held a meeting with the Spanish educational community in Andorra, where they were able to talk with the directors of the centres of the Spanish system present in Andorra.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia moved to the Church of Santa Coloma and the adjacent 'Espai Columba' museum. The Church of Santa Coloma is Andorra's oldest church, dating to the pre-Romanesque period. It contains remnants of murals made in the 12th century by the Master of Sant Coloma. Most of the murals were removed in 1933 and until 2007 were in Germany. The murals are now in the Andorran Government Exhibition Hall. The Espai Columba museum is a cultural facility whose objective is to guard, preserve and present the mural paintings of the apse of the church of Santa Coloma and various liturgical objects from Andorran churches.

At noon, Their Majesties attended an official lunch offered by the Cap de Govern of Andorra in their honour, which was attended by the General Trustee, and the representatives of the Episcopal Co-Prince and the French Co-Prince.

Bringing the state visit to a close, the King and Queen visited Casa Museo d'Areny-Plandolit, which is the only example of a manor house in Andorra that has survived intact to this day. The family owes its social standing to Guillem d’Areny-Plandolit, Baron of Senaller and Gramenet and the First Syndic of the General Council of the Andorra Valleys, who led the New Reform of 1866, an illustrious figure in the history of Andorra.
