Spanish society changed significantly at the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century. This was a key period in the country's modernisation, and these new developments were faithfully reflected by the artists of the time. Almost 300 pieces, many of them never before exhibited, make up a varied exhibition with which the Prado Museum approaches the multiple ways in which creators represented this new era.
Works from the Prado's collections have been combined with contributions from almost a hundred public and private lenders so visitors can enjoy works by masters including Joaquín Sorolla, Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso, Darío de Regoyos and Pablo Gargallo.As stated in the exhibition, which occupies all the Prado's temporary exhibition rooms, they also looked at aspects that until then had been little covered by art in Spain, such as education, medicine, industrial work, the role of women, poverty, prostitution, workers' strikes or immigration.
