On Thursday The King and Queen of Spain carried out two engagements in Granada. Their first event of the day was the inauguration of the exhibition 'Odaliscas. From Ingres to Picasso', at the Museum of Fine Arts, Palace of Carlos V.
The exhibition is made up of 48 pieces by artists such as Ingres, Délacroix, Chasseriau, Gérôme, Constant, Bernard, Matisse and Picasso, among others, from prestigious institutions and private collections. It 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 how it became a key theme that traversed a century and a half of major aesthetic transformations in Western painting, showing the validity and importance of the traditional female nude.

Following a tour of the Odaliscas exhibition, Their Majesties went to the Nasrid Palaces, where they saw the restoration works carried out and the link between the space and the exhibition.
Later in the day, Their Majesties presided over the delivery of the 2020 National Innovation and Design Awards, the most important awards given in Spain in the fields of innovation and design, at the Granada Conference Centre.
