- Moises Cerezo has donated to the CNB his painting "Group of Researchers from the CNB""
This week the CNB received the painting "Group of Researchers from the CNB (Grupo de Investigadores del CNB), by Moisés Cerezo, a realistic oil painting that aims to reflect the contribution of CNB´s researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This painting, which the artist has donated to the CNB-CSIC, is based on the work "Una investigación" by Joaquín Sorolla and aims to highlight the scientific collaboration and the important contribution of the research staff in the search for solutions to the pandemic. "It is fortunate for all of us to have groups of professional researchers who work day and night for the common good, and that is why I thought of portraying this scene and reflecting this great work," says Cerezo. "I am happy to know that together with the CNB and their researchers we have painted part of the history of our country.
On behalf of the CNB, Mario Mellado, director of the CNB, shows our gratitude to Moisés Cerezo's gesture. "Since the beginning of the pandemic, our centre has focused its efforts on the search for solutions to COVID-19 and it is very gratifying for us to receive this gift to recognise the role of researchers. "The painting shows the scientific cooperation needed to respond to global challenges and it is an honour for us to receive it".
