The driving force behind the cultural initiative of two art historians, Maria Gargante and Manel Trenches, who created a virtual museum dedicated to staying at home, was a painting by British artist John William Waterhouse. It depicts one of the scenes of Boccaccio's Decameron, a work written in the mid-14th century, immediately after the plague pandemic. Young people in the picture tell stories to facilitate moments of isolation.

Virtual Museum QuedARTE en casa is a gallery of paintings depicting moments of being at home. Among them are many works by contemporary artists, Spain notes in Russian.

The gallery is divided into zones that reflect different aspects of the concept of “being at home”: staying with children, homework, animals that are our partners, reading, people’s relationships, food, art at home and much more. Each section contains a description of general trends and changes in the depiction of one or another aspect of home life..
