Exhibition honouring Cervantes opens at Zagreb's Mimara Museum

ZAGREB, Dec 1 (Hina) - Zagreb's Mimara Museum and the Spanish Embassy in Croatia are paying homage to the greatest Spanish writer and one of the world's eminent novelists, Miguel de Cervantes, with an exhibition of photographs by Spanish photographer Jose Manuel Navia, which opens Thursday.

The exhibition "Miguel de Cervantes o el deseo de vivir" (Miguel de Cervantes or the desire to live) shows Navia's photographs dedicated to the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes in 2016.

For this project, Navia followed in Cervantes's footsteps, visually capturing the places and paths trodden by the great author throughout his life – a troubled and uncertain life that is also revealed to us in a veiled manner in his works.

Approximately 30 photographs that make up the exhibition are mostly new, taken especially for this purpose. The project is based on the act of photographing the main places linked to Miguel Cervantes’s life.

Alcala de Henares, Valladolid, Madrid, Naples, Lepant, Tunis, Algiers, Oran, Lisbon, Esquivias, Toledo, La Mancha, Andalusia and Barcelona are some of the places on Cervantes's life journey.

The photographs are accompanied by detailed texts and literary quotes that refer to the author’s life as well as to his works.

The exhibition, for which admission is free, will be open until 31 December.
