PICTORIC HALL "Miradas de un siglo" (Glimpses of a century).

Miradas de un siglo is an exhibition that is the prelude to the Antonio Reyna Centre in Coín. An exhibition that contextualises the painter in the art of his time together with other great masters of 19th century Malaga painting.

The works that make up the exhibition, all of which belong to the Art Collection of the Malaga Provincial Council, explore the genre of the landscapes and territories of his time, showing two of his most academic copies, the nude study: José en la Cisterna, and the fresco by Rafael La disputa del Sacramento, both painted by Antonio Reyna as a pensioner of the Malaga institution.

Alongside them we can also contemplate other works by leading figures of 19th century Malaga art such as José Moreno Carbonero, José Denis Belgrano, Antonio Muñoz Degrain and Ricardo Verdugo Landi, which perfectly represent that glorious period in the history of Spanish painting and offer visitors and art lovers an enriching and expanded view of the contents of the centre and better information for a better understanding of the great artist from Coín

CERAMIC ROOM “Carmen Escalona”

(Courtyard Room). Carmen Escalona Vega is a self-taught artist with her own style. Her representations show us the popular ranches of yesteryear, weddings, corners of our town and daily and common scenes to which she gives relevance through her art.

This anthological exhibition shows a clay artist with her own style, with a life dedicated to the art of modeling ceramics so that it becomes a witness of traditional life that thanks to her work we can remember forever.

CERAMIC ROOM “Salvador Luna”

(Patio room 1st floor). This artist was born in Coín more than half a century ago and grew up on the Calzá paths.

This room displays a complete and representative collection of the work of the artist from Coin over the last decades, which enriches the contents of the monumental building to visit.

“From the beginning I have tried to value ceramics as ART and not as CRAFTS, researching new techniques and transmitting my humble knowledge to many people”. Salvador Luna

MUNICIPAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL ROOM

(Courtyard room 1st floor). The municipal collection is constituted for the most part by materials corresponding to Prehistory, coming from archaeological sites in the municipality of Coín. A selection of the first tools carved by man is exposed, using flint and quartzite as raw material, and is completed with interesting samples (originals and replicas) of the first ceramic vessels made by hand during the Neolithic, the Chalcolithic and the Age of Bronze.

Coín is one of the towns with the greatest archaeological wealth in the province of Malaga, its extensive municipal area concentrates and exceeds a hundred sites, gathering from Paleolithic deposits to important manifestations of megalithism, towns and bronze necropolises.

Interesting enclaves such as; Ardite, Moreta, Sierra Gorda, Sendajo de Quemao, Llano de la Virgen, Cerro del Aljibe or Cortijo de los Fernández, without neglecting the town itself and the Rupestrian Caves of the Camino Ancho, outside the walls of the medieval urban framework.
