Arrese museum of Corella

Baroque image representing SalomŽ with the head of Bautista.

Located in the Monastery of La Encarnación, a Benedictine convent built in 1659, it was converted into a museum by José Luis Arrese, creator of the foundation that this museum belongs to since 1975. It was renovated in 2001, and mainly houses Renaissance and Baroque religious art, plus a representative selection of the work of the painter from Corella Antonio González Ruiz (1711-1788), the first director of the painting section of the Royal Academy of Noble Arts of San Fernando (Madrid). Among the pieces worthy of mention are canvases of the Mystical Nuptials of Santa Gertrudis and the Martyrdom of San Plácido, by Claudio Coello; the bust of San Pedro Nolasco, by Pier Antonio Colici (1725), and an Apotheosis of Christ, by Corrado Giacquinto.
