The Museum of Salamanca. New addition to the Museum's collection (deposit from the Museo Nacional del Prado through Prado Extendido).

Manuel Iglesias Recio was an artist born in Villares de la Reina (1880-1960). He had a worthy career and is little known in Salamanca. His friendship and collaboration with other deaf artists, such as the Zubiaurres, of whom we have a painting by Valentín, stands out. They formed a group of deaf artists who supported each other.

A very expressive, realistic bronze head entitled "The Castilian" is presented, although it may also be the work presented at the 1917 National Exhibition "Salamanca mayor".

The statue of Ponce de Leon (creator of the first sign language) that adorns the Retiro Park in Madrid is his work (although executed by someone else).
