SUMMARY:VICTORIA EUGENIA
DESCRIPTION:Instituto Cervantes in London\, in collaboration with National Heritage\, the Gallery of the Royal Collections\, and The Royal Collection Trust\, presents a lecture dedicated to the exhibition on Queen Victoria Eugenie at the Gallery of the Royal Collections in Madrid.\n\nThe event offers an illuminating journey through the life\, legacy\, and public image of one of the most distinctive figures of modern Spanish monarchy. Through the pieces featured in the exhibition—portraits\, personal objects\, clothing\, documents\, photographs\, and artworks related to her life—the presentations will offer the audience a multidimensional view of a queen whose biography was shaped by historical tensions\, social transformations\, and personal challenges.\n\nVictoria Eugenie of Battenberg\, born in Scotland in 1887 and Queen Consort of Spain following her marriage to Alfonso XIII in 1906\, lived through a decisive period in European history: the rapid modernization of cities\, the emergence of new artistic sensibilities\, the rise of the mass media\, and the profound political changes that culminated in the Second Republic and her subsequent exile. The lecture examines how the exhibition brings these contexts together to portray not only the institutional figure\, but also the woman\, wife\, and mother who had to adapt to an often-hostile environment.\n\nThe lecture will also highlight the museographic contribution of the Gallery of the Royal Collections\, emphasizing how the exhibition uses visual and narrative resources to bring closer to visitors a figure who remains largely unknown to the general public. In this sense\, the exhibition becomes not only a historical journey\, but also an invitation to reflect on the role of women in monarchy\, the construction of memory\, and the dialogue between past and present.\n\nThe presentations will be given by:\n\n 	Víctor Cageao – Director at National Heritage\, who will speak about the Royal Collections and National Heritage.\n 	Alessandro Nasini – Senior Curator of Photographs at Royal Collection Trust\, who will discuss the collection of photographs from Queen Victoria Eugenie’s childhood and youth.\n 	Arantxa Domingo and Reyes Utrera\, the exhibition’s curators\, who will speak about the exhibition.\n\nEvents in English and Spanish with an English interpreter.
