About the Event

These late 18th Century etchings are one of the most influential graphic series in the history of Western art and continue to inspire contemporary artists.
 
Francisco Goya, considered to be "the Father of Modern Art," was an artist of the Enlightenment period, a moralist who turned a sardonic eye on the follies, vices, and superstitions of his time. By expressing his thoughts and feelings frankly, he became the pioneer of new artistic tendencies which were to come to fruition in the 19th century.
 
These etchings make up Goya’s most important series of prints, and have long been recognized as one of the supreme monuments of European art. Goya, royal painter to the kings of Spain during the late eighteenth-early nineteenth centuries, eventually died in exile, both of his major print series having been "donated" to the crown to protect him from the Inquisition.
