A unique highlight of the exhibition is the opportunity to admire an original work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, an artist whose pieces are rarely seen in Spain. The inclusion of one of his works is an unprecedented event that draws collectors and art lovers from across the country. Toulouse-Lautrec, renowned for his depictions of Parisian nightlife, adds a touch of bohemia and modernity to the exhibition.

Another fascinating aspect of the show is the exploration of the “painting within a painting” technique. This pictorial device—used by masters like Velázquez and adopted by Ramon Casas in his portrait of Santiago Rusiñol—creates an illusion of depth and sets up a visual dialogue between different works. By including a landscape by Rusiñol within the portrait, Casas not only enriches the composition but also invites us to reflect on the relationship between the two artists.
