"Juan de la: A Journey Through Art and History" Step back in time with Juan de la, a name that echoes through the centuries as an artist, explorer, and engineer. From the first map to show America in 1500 to the Autogiro designed by Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva in 1928, his influence spans across various fields. Intricate details come alive under Abadia's brush as he depicts The Archangel Michael weighing the Souls of the Dead. This masterpiece showcases Abadia's skill and creativity during his active years from 1469-1498. Moving forward in time, we encounter another talented artist named Juan Pantoja de la Cruz.

Pantoja de la Cruz continues to astound us with Philip III donning armor in his striking painting from 1904. But it is not just portraits that define Juan Pantoja de la Cruz's legacy; he also takes us on a voyage aboard Columbus' Ship, The Santa Maria. In this rendition from 1912, we can almost feel the wind against our faces as we sail alongside history. Don Diego de Villamayor comes to life under Pantoja de la Cruz's skilled hand in a captivating portrait from 1605. His attention to detail captures every nuance of Don Diego's character and leaves us wanting more. The artistic lineage continues with Juan de la Abadia the Younger who brings forth St Michael and Engracia into existence between c1489-c1513. Their story unfolds before our eyes through Abadia's intricate brushstrokes. Finally, we delve into engineering marvels as Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva presents his groundbreaking creation - Autogiro - designed in 1928.
