Los Moreno

The Real Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando is hosting a display dedicated to the archive of Casa Moreno through a selection of photographic works and documents.

The photography room at the Real Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando is hosting this exhibition focusing on the careers of the photographers Mariano Moreno and Vicente Moreno. The tour of the rooms allows visitors to view a collection of twelve works from the institution's own holdings, accompanied by bibliographic and newspaper material belonging to the Pedro Melero and Marisa Llorente collection.

The exhibition reviews the context of Casa Moreno, founded in the late 19th century and renowned for assembling a vast archive of negatives of artistic reproductions, urban views and portraits of prominent figures. Furthermore, the visit illustrates the development of photographic printing houses in Madrid, taking as a reference the continuous work of this enterprise following the pioneers of the sector in the capital. The Photo Library of the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute has granted the rights to the images exhibited for this occasion at the Madrid institution.
