Museu de Belles Arts de València has announced ‘Antonio Palomino i la nit barroca’, described as the first monographic exhibition devoted to the pictorial and intellectual work of the Baroque painter and theorist Antonio Palomino. The museum says the project focuses on an artist presented as vital to Spanish art of the 16th and 17th centuries, bringing together his work and ideas in a single exhibition.
According to the museum’s announcement, the exhibition is on view until September 20, 2026. The notice does not provide a fuller checklist or curatorial statement, but it frames the show as a focused study of Palomino’s contribution both as a painter and as a writer on art. The title, ‘Antonio Palomino i la nit barroca’, places the project firmly within the baroque period and signals an emphasis on the atmosphere and intellectual culture surrounding his practice.
Palomino occupies an important place in Spanish art history, and the museum’s description underlines that significance by calling the exhibition the first of its kind dedicated to his pictorial and intellectual output. That wording suggests an approach that goes beyond a standard retrospective of images alone, instead treating Palomino as a figure whose thought and art were intertwined. The museum has not indicated additional venues or a touring itinerary in the available material.
The announcement was shared by Museu de Belles Arts de València through its GVAmubav channel, accompanied by a reference to a complete video on YouTube. No further details about the installation, loans, participating scholars or related public programmes were included in the source text provided. As a result, the available information remains centered on the exhibition’s scope, subject and run dates.
The exhibition opened on July 31, 2026, and continues through September 20, 2026 at Museu de Belles Arts de València. Within the source material, that is the full verified schedule: a single presentation focused on Antonio Palomino and the Baroque night, and on the painter-theorist’s place in the history of Spanish art.
