As some of you may have noticed, our beloved painting from Chapter 6 is currently missing from the walls of the Casa de Colón. As of January 2024, it remains stored in the ground floor’s deposit room. Its future home will likely be the new Gran Canaria Fine Arts Museum (Museo de Bellas Artes de Gran Canaria), soon to open in the old San Martín Hospital in Vegueta. The latest updates suggest a possible inauguration by Q3 2024.
The painting was certainly in place when I visited back in 2020, and you can still see it hanging on the walls of Room 9 if you check the virtual visit app.
For the completionists among you, let me share the painting’s details:
