Imprimatur speaks of the construction of our cultural heritage, about books, about pictorial imagery, and about the knowledge and vicissitudes of their transmission.

The exhibition is articulated around two video projections: a conversation between Francisco de Goya and the businessman Martín Zapater, and the trial of Galileo Galilei. The tour is completed with several photographic series that reveal historic paintings in which the protagonists are books.
With seemingly religious themes, these paintings created from Medieval times to the 19th century addressed the immutable truths through the iconography of saints or of intellectuals commonly connected to the church.

The contemporary spectator values the relevance of works of art exclusively in function with their visual and aesthetic criteria, ignoring their indoctrinating purpose and how they presented the divine intermediation in all the sciences. (photoEspaña press-release)
