This unique exhibition brings the groundbreaking oeuvre of Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828) into dialogue with work by both contemporaries and later generations of artists. With his fierce, compelling depictions of the injustice, abuses, and horrors of his day, Goya was a pivotal figure in the development of a modernity firmly rooted in the Spanish realist tradition. Seventy artists—from the 18th century to the present—confront Goya’s expressive complexity and demonstrate how his formal, conceptual, and ideological legacy continues to intrigue, move, and inspire.
