"I thought I knew nothing about the 19th Spanish Orientalist art movement, but during Karla’s brilliant lecture I realised that some of the paintings were already familiar to me and that I simply had no idea what they meant or the stories they told.
Karla gave us the context we needed to appreciate the works, while also exploring their historical background and the lives of the artists themselves.
As she so often does, she also helped us to understand how Spanish history continues to influence today’s news. Anyone following Spain’s difficult relationship with Morocco would have seen that these Spanish artists were documenting many of the same tensions a hundred years ago."
