Fernando Brambila, Painter of Royal Sites

The Temporary Exhibition Hall at the Royal Collections Gallery will host an exhibition from 28 May to 12 October in which an extensive set of works by Fernando Brambila (Cassano d’Adda, 1763-Madrid, 1834), specialised in perspectives, landscapes and urban views, will be brought together for the first time ever. Brambila focused his work on the production of topographical views, creating drawings and paintings throughout his career, which were later reproduced as prints. His most important work is the series of views of Royal Sites, painted in oil on canvas between 1821 and 1833 under commission from King Ferdinand VII, which were intended to be displayed in private rooms at the different royal palaces. With this work, he contributed to developing an image of Royal Sites that has remained in the collective memory thanks to its dissemination through the Collection of Views of Royal Sites published by the Real Establecimiento Litográfico.
