Rembrandt Grabador: A Master of Printmaking at Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga
Step into the extraordinary world of a Dutch master at the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga. The museum is proud to present “Rembrandt Grabador” (Rembrandt the Printmaker) from October 24, 2025, to January 25, 2026. This remarkable showcase offers a rare opportunity to witness the technical genius of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. As one of the most significant figures in art history, his work continues to inspire audiences worldwide.
The exhibition features a selection of 35 remarkable prints. These pieces are on loan from the prestigious Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid. Notably, this institution houses the most important private collection of Rembrandt’s graphic works in Spain. While Rembrandt is globally renowned for his grand paintings, he achieved international fame during his lifetime primarily through his mastery of etching and engraving.
Visitors will explore two fundamental themes of his work. First, the collection includes intimate portraits and self-portraits. Second, it highlights profound religious scenes from the life of Christ and biblical patriarchs like Abraham. These prints reveal his unparalleled skill in the use of chiaroscuro. Furthermore, they showcase his meticulous attention to detail and boundless creative invention.
Located in the Noble Hall (Sala Noble), this collection serves as a testament to the artist’s freedom of expression. For nearly four centuries, his vivacity has continued to fascinate viewers. Consequently, this exhibition is a must-see for art lovers visiting Málaga this winter.

Telluric and Primitive: Rediscovering Modern Spanish Art in Málaga
Experience the roots of modern Spanish art in the upcoming exhibition “Telluric and Primitive: From the Vallecas School to Miquel Barceló”. This major temporary showcase will take place at the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga. Specifically, the exhibition invites visitors to rediscover a unique artistic identity. This identity spans from the 1920s through the late 20th century.
The exhibition features more than sixty diverse works. For instance, visitors can see various paintings, sculptures, and drawings. These pieces explore two powerful paths of artistic renewal. First, the telluric style is inspired by the Earth’s interior and geological matter. Second, the primitive style draws from ancestral signs and the unconscious mind. Therefore, the show provides a deep look at how nature transforms into a new avant-garde language.
You can view works from iconic masters such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Antoni Tàpies. Furthermore, the collection includes pieces by Miquel Barceló and Maruja Mallo. These artists redefined modernism by looking back at ancient origins. Consequently, their relationship with the landscape became a central theme of Spanish art history.
The exhibition is located in the temporary exhibition hall on the third floor. Because it is a limited-time event, we recommend planning your visit early. It is a perfect opportunity for both locals and tourists to explore the depth of Spanish creativity.
