🇪🇸 Nos reuniremos enfrente de la Ermita de la Virgen del Puerto a las 18:00.

Esta ermita, declarada Monumento Nacional en 1945, está situada en las inmediaciones del Palacio Real de Madrid. Se trata de una reconstrucción de la obra original diseñada por Pedro de Ribera y construida entre 1716 y 1718, uno de los primeros ejemplos de arquitectura barroca en España.

El marqués de Vadillo, corregidor de Madrid, encargó a Ribera su construcción en 1716, junto al río Manzanares. De ella destaca el diferente tratamiento interior-exterior. Interiormente organiza un espacio central con cúpula, cuatro capillas y cuatro sólidos pilares que completan el octógono. En el exterior presenta un volumen formado por superficies planas. Conserva el sepulcro del marqués de Vadillo, obra de 1729, también de Ribera.

Después de dos horas de dibujo, sobre las 20:15, iremos a conectar y disfrutar de una bebida juntos.

🇬🇧 We will gather in front of Ermita de la Virgen del Puerto at 18:00.

This hermitage, built between 1716 and 1718 and declared National Monument in 1945, is located close to Madrid's Royal Palace. It is a reconstruction of the original building designed by Pedro de Ribera at the start of the 18th Century, one of the first examples of Baroque architecture in Spain.

The Marquis of Vadillo, the mayor of Madrid, as appointed by the King, commissioned Ribera to build this hermitage in 1716, by the River Manzanares. Of particular note is the difference between the interior and exterior. Inside, there is a central space with a dome, four chapels, and four solid pillars that complete the octagon. The outside is made up of flat surfaces. It is also home to the grave of the Marquis of Vadillo, built in 1729, and also designed by Ribera.

No prior drawing experience is necessary; all skill levels are welcome. Feel free to bring your preferred art materials, such as pens or watercolors. For beginners, a sketchbook, pencils, an eraser, and/or pens will be perfect.

After two hours drawing at around 20:15, we'll have an optional gathering nearby, where we can connect and enjoy a drink together in a relaxed atmosphere.
