Museo Revello de Toro

This guide to the Museo Revello de Toro in Málaga starts with an unusual 1958 still life by the Málaga-born painter Félix Revello de Toro: just a book, bread, garlic and a corked bottle, from an artist mostly known for grand society portraits. It traces his path from a childhood marked by his father's death during the Spanish Civil War through scholarships that sent him to study in Rome, and into the roughly hundred works he later donated to his home city. Along the way it uncovers who occupied this same house three centuries earlier, another artist with his own kind of hunger.
