Focusing on the legacy of colonialism within European art collections, the publication critically explores how colonial ideologies are reflected, reinforced, or challenged in works of art from the 16th to the 21st century. Featuring 73 artworks drawn from the museum’s permanent holdings, the Carmen Thyssen Collection, and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, the catalog examines themes such as resource extraction, racial hierarchies, slavery, religious conquest, and the romanticization of colonial landscapes.

In addition to historical works, the catalog includes contemporary perspectives that reframe and question traditional narratives. Essays by curators and scholars offer compelling insights into the artworks’ contexts and the broader social structures they inhabit.

It’s a thought-provoking publication that invites readers to reflect on art history through a decolonial lens.

The catalog is published in Spanish and includes an English-language insert with translations of the key essays.
