In conjunction with the show *La Hora Francesa*, this lecture presented by the Compagnie de l’Arène invites you to explore the Spanish influence on the French arts from the 17th to the 20th century.
Spain has long been a part of French culture, inspiring artists as early as the reign of Louis XIV. But it was in the 19th century that enthusiasm for Spanish culture and influences truly took off.
The lecture will be led by Olivier Bouguenec, a lecturer, musicologist, art historian, and project manager at the Lyon Regional Education Office.
