Audioguide

Daniel Vázquez Díaz was born in Nerva, Huelva, in 1882. Early in his career he copied great masters from the Prado Museum. In Paris he met Picasso, Braque, and Modigliani. Although he developed his artistic career in Spain, this Parisian influence can be seen in his work. His work is characterized by falling between realism and neo-cubism. This engraving, called The Departure, alludes to the moment when Christopher Columbus said goodbye to the monks of La Rabida Monastery.
