The exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Louvre Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago, underscores the Extremaduran artist's connection to the Andalusian capital, where he developed much of his work. London's double-decker buses are already advertising the exhibition, and Zurbarán's catalogs are displayed alongside those of other masters in the museum's bookstore.

The Sevillian presence in London extends beyond the exhibition. At Paddington station, bottles of Seville's bitter orange are found, a product annually exported to the United Kingdom. Furthermore, in the City market, a Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla gin display promotes cocktails inspired by the Andalusian city, such as the Sevilla Negroni or the Sevilla Sunset.

Despite rain forecasts, the atmosphere in London has been sunny, with the only visible umbrellas on the statues of Mary Poppins and Singin' in the Rain in Leicester Square. This square, a cinematic hub, also hosts statues of figures like William Shakespeare, whose work is continuously performed on the banks of the Thames.

The city pays tribute to its soldiers, to the women who sustained the country during the world wars, and to its writers, with taverns dedicated to Dickens, restaurants to Shakespeare, and bars to Sherlock Holmes. Statues of Oscar Wilde and John Donne, as well as a plaque at the Portobello home where George Orwell lived, bear witness to London's rich literary heritage.

London's parks, such as the one next to Waterloo Bridge, offer spaces for reflection, with benches donated by various communities. The city's bus routes evoke football teams, films, and battles, while cinemas like the Gate Cinema screen classics such as Notting Hill, celebrating the culture and history of the British capital.
