Issued in conjunction with an exhibition of work by Spanish romantic painter Francisco Goya (1746-1828). "The works seen here focus on several distinct aspects of Goya's oeuvre: the tapestry cartoons, his religious paintings, the portraits, those enigmatic, uncommissioned works, including still-life paintings, related to the inventory drawn up in 1812 of works of art he kept for himself in his studio after the death of his wife. These diverse groups afford a series of insights into this figure who is among the least susceptible to categorization. In turn, it becomes clear that Goya at his most public -- in the studies for tapetries, the commisioned altarpieces, the official portraits -- can be as private and revealing as he is in the works he held back from public view, the most universal in the breadth of their vision." (p. 12) Includes a chronology, a narrative text, and nice full color examples of Goya's work.
