Artistic Relationships Between Spain and Great Britain, 1604-1655", on view through June 2, 2002. the exhibition was curated by Jonathan Brown (New York University) and Sir John Elliott (Oxford University). As a result of the 1648 revolution headed by Oliver Cromwell, the king of England, Charles I, was executed and made public the auction of his property. This is the point of departure of this exhibition. The Peace Treaty signed in 1604 by Jacob I and Philip III ended the battle between Sapin and Great Britain had begun when Isabel I and Philip II ruled. The Prince of Wales traveled in 1623 to arrange his marriage with the Catholic princess, the infant Mary, but was not successful. This trip, however began the cultural relationship between the two families. When Charles I lost the British Civil War, Philip IV arranged the purchase of many works from Charles' art collection.
