Spanish King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were in Sevilla today to present the 2023 Fine Arts Gold Merits. Granted by the Ministry of Culture, the gold merits recognized those who have stood out in the field of artistic and cultural creation or have provided significant services in the promotion, development and dissemination of art and culture or in the conservation of the artistic heritage.
This year 37 distinguished personalities ranging from artist, restorer and glass teachers, were among the winners of the prestigious recognitions. The event was held at the Center for Culture Real Factory in Seville.
As always, The Royal couple received a very warm welcome from the locals outside the cultural center. They spent some time greeting the locals and stood for pictures.
After greeting the authorities, they attended the screening of a video on the winners of the Gold Medals of Merit in the Fine Arts 2023, before taking to the stage to present the Gold Merits.
Established in 1995, there used to be two types of medals in fine arts – Gold and Silver. But in 1996 silver medals were dropped.
