Seville \par \par Narrator \par Seville has been the one city in the world that has inspire d the most operas: Carmen, of course, Don Juan, and the very famous Barber. The fact is, not many cities in the world can compete with how colourful and dramatic Seville and its streets are. And what better way to immerse oneself in this theatrical ambian ce than a ride in a coach and horses. Most of the buildings in the city centre were built for the 1929 World Fair. This is the Plaza de Espa\'f1 a and it was the heart of the exhibition. Every corner of this luxurious city oozes art. The work of silversmith Fernando Marmalejo decorates many monuments. \par \par Robert Elms \par Hello, Don Fernando. \par \par Fernando \par Hello. \par \par Robert Elms \par What is that? \par \par Fernando \par This is a drawing of work that has already been done on what was the Mezquita: the grand Mosque and Moorish quarter of Arab Seville. \par \par Robert Elms \par And that's the Giralda? \par \par Fernando \par That's the Giralda as it was, in its original state, before being done up in the 16th century. \par \par Robert Elms \par Oh, it was the original mosque? \par \par Fernando \par The original mosque. It is something that I carry in my soul, you know, because the history of the Moors is my history as well. My profession is one that comes straight down from the Moors. \par \par Robert Elms \par Is your work for sale? \par \par Fernando \par Yes, yes.... \par \par Robert Elms \par But not the big\'85 \par \par Fernando \par It is easy because we don't charge what we should be charging, otherwise we wouldn't sell anything, because it is extremely labour-intensive. But we are dedicated, we don't allow this modern thing of slopping a bit of paint on a canvas and there you are, a work of art. Not here. Here a work of art takes many working hours. You have to enjoy hard work and love your profession. \par \par Robert Elms \par I have been told you worked for the Giralda? \par \par Fernando \par }\pard\plain \s15\ri360\widctlpar\adjustright \f1\lang2057\cgrid {Yes, it was very satisfactory, because I wished to join that immortality of the Giralda. There were some bunches of lilies that every fifty years deteriorated with time. I suggested that they be recast in bronze. So the Giralda's lilies were recast in bronze which will be there forever, since it is anticorrosive. Eve ry time I go past the Giralda, I look up and say to myself: "My word, I contributed to that" and I would have liked my parents to have seen it too. \par }\pard\plain \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright \fs20\lang2057\cgrid {\f1\fs24 \par Robert Elms \par Yes, you have made your contribution to eternity, on the great symbol of Sevilla. \par \par Narrator \par Enrique Pareja, director of the Museum of Fine Arts, is responsible for preserving the art of past Sevillian masters. \par \par Robert Elms \par In your opinion, is Murillo the quintessential Sevillian artist? \par \par Enrique Pareja \par He is indeed, he is the one who in his paintings can best capture, absorb and make palpable the light, air and atmosphere of Seville. \par \par Robert Elms \par This painting is very important for Seville, is it not? \par \par Enrique Pareja \par They are the patron saints of the city, which in the early 16th century had troubles like earthquakes, rain, a terrible storm, and Seville then turns to the patron saints for protection, so that the tower, the Giralda, should not fall down. \par \par Narrator \par The collection contains the most famous painting of Seville painted by Bilbao. \par \par Robert Elms \par This is another famous Sevillian spot? \par \par Enrique Pareja \par Yes, it's the old tobacco factory, Seville's famous tobacco factory. \par \par Robert Elms \par Carmen's place? \par \par Enrique Pareja \par Yes, with its cigar makers, among which is the famous Carmen. If you look closely it is the light and dark, light and dark that gives the composition its depth. In that one, Carmen is present at a typical scene from the beginning of this century. \par \par Robert Elms \par And now it is the University. \par \par Enrique Pareja \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\f1\fs24 And now it is the University.
