The earliest works from the ancient Iberian peninsula were made in the second millennium BC by the people known as the Bell-Beaker, after the shape of the ceramic wares they made. Later, the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians all established colonies primarily in southern and coastal Spain; today, evidence of the merging of Phoenician and indigenous Iberian cultures can be found in engraved ivories (produced around 700-600 BC).

Migrating Celts also settled in central Spain and assimilated with native Iberiansl; metalwork from this Celtiberian culture include silver bracelets, torques, and fibulae. By the beginning of the third century BC, the Romans began arriving in Spain, eventually controlling the entire Iberian Peninsula from 19 BC until the 5th century AD. After the Roman Empire crumbled, the Visigoths dominated the Iberian Peninsula (with Toledo as their capital) for three centuries, until 711 when they were defeated by Arab and Berber invaders from North Africa.

You are a very creative person, who is always happiest when learning (or making) new things. You also have a keen eye for detail - some might even call you a bit of a perfectionist!

When Arab and Berber invaders defeated Visigothic Spain in 711, the arrival of the Islamic faith changed the course of Spanish culture. The Muslim-ruled area of the Iberian peninsula was called Al-Andalus, and the city of Córdoba (its caliphate) became one of the leading cultural and economic centres across Europe and the Islamic world (acting as a conduit for cultural and scientific exchange between Islamic and Christian worlds).

The borders between Muslim and Christian Spain were always fluid. Stylistically, an exchange occurred between the two artistic traditions with Islamic motifs passing into objects made for Christian patrons in a hybrid style known as Mudéjar. From the 9th to 15th centuries, Christian kingdoms gradually overpowered the Muslim states, finally completing the Christian ‘Reconquista’ of the peninsula in 1492 with the fall of Granada.

You feel happiest when nurturing your intellectual and spiritual life in different ways, from reading your favourite books to surrounding yourself in nature.

There was a period of flourishing in the arts and literature of Spain from around 1580 to 1680 (some historians have called this the 'Golden Age' of Spanish art, although others dispute this term). Among the artistic output of this period, you will find masterpieces by Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664) and El Greco (1541-1614). Although the art of Francisco Goya (1746-1828) comes much later, his work is also considered to represent another peak of Spanish art in the pre-modern period.

You are a collector at heart, and you love to spend time with your favourite pictures from all around the world. Your curiosity always takes you far!

There is an extraordinary range of works in the Hispanic Society’s collection, tracing the developments and styles in art across Latin American countries between 17-19th centuries. 17th-century artworks include the meticulous oil-on-copper religious paintings by Friar López de Herrera (working in Mexico from 1608), and one of the finest examples of enconchado paintings (encrusted with mother-of-pearl) called Wedding at Cana by Nicolás Correa in 1693.

18th-century works include examples of painting of castas (or racial mixtures), as in the painting by Mexican artist Juan Rodríguez Juarez around 1720 (showing a racially mixed couple and their child), an exceptional map of Mexico City, and a newly discovered masterpiece by Puerto Rico’s foremost artist of the colonial era, José Campeche y Jordán. Among the 19th-century Latin American paintings, the most iconic is Young Man from the Coast (c. 1843) by José Agustín Arrieta, one of Mexico’s most popular artists of the era.

You tend to be the life and soul of the party. You love to talk to anyone and everyone, and always have a great story to tell.

Although various 19th-century art movements influenced Spanish artists (including Neo-classicism, Romanticism, Realism and Impressionism), by the early 20th-century the Valencian painter Joaquín Sorolla was the preeminent artist in Spain. His monumental series of 14 paintings known as Vision of Spain was commissioned in 1911 by the Hispanic Society’s founder Archer Milton Huntington in 1911. Sorolla had already been the subject of two enormously successful travelling exhibitions in the United States organised by the Hispanic Society in 1909 and 1911; the former exhibition had attracted some 160,000 visitors to the Hispanic Society in a period of one month.
