Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica

The Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica (CEEH) is a private, independent institution based in Madrid, Spain, dedicated to the study and promotion of Hispanic culture and its role in European and Western civilization. Founded in 2005, it describes itself as an entity independent of public powers that promotes international Hispanism and academic excellence. Its stated mission is to foster knowledge about Spain's role in Europe, asserting the Hispanic cultural and spiritual legacy within the history of Western civilization. This approach seeks not only to highlight the Spanish imprint beyond the Iberian Peninsula but also to encompass the cross-fertilization of influences and shared heritage with other European nations from classical antiquity onward, revealing common traditions and reciprocal cultural exchanges. Since its creation, the CEEH has devoted particular attention to the Spanish Golden Age (Siglo de Oro), taking an interest in the international dimension of the Habsburg dynasty and in the ideas, forms, agents, and episodes that best reflect the importance of this period in Spanish history. Its interest in confluences and exchanges with other countries extends to the study of the reception of Hispanic culture in different eras and places, as well as the dissemination of Spanish art and its collecting worldwide. The CEEH operates its own publishing imprint, which has published more than one hundred and fifty titles in several languages. The quality and rigor of these publications have earned various awards from the Ministry of Culture and foreign academic societies, and they have been the subject of hundreds of reviews in general press and specialized journals. Beyond publishing, the CEEH's activities include other initiatives developed autonomously or in collaboration with like-minded entities: it produces documentary films for historical-artistic dissemination, supports the recovery of documentary heritage, and engages in the study and dissemination of Spanish culture and art in the United States. The institution is headquartered at Felipe IV 12, bajo B, 28014 Madrid, and can be contacted at info@ceeh.es or +34 91 369 22 54. Its director is José Luis Colomer, with Isabel Durán as general coordinator. The CEEH maintains a newsletter (Boletín) and organizes its publications into series such as Disparates, Los Austrias, Velazqueña, España e Italia, Confluencias, Los Hombres del Rey, Obras sobre papel, The Spanish Gallery, and Otras publicaciones. It also engages in patronage (Patrocinios) and distribution both in Spain and internationally. Notable recent titles include Francisco de Zurbarán, Distinguished Painter by Javier Portús; Art and Science in the Spanish Baroque by José Ramón Marcaida López; and Spain since 1976: The Art of Susan Wilson. The CEEH co-edits works with institutions such as the Center for Spain in America and the Center for Iberian Historical Studies.
