All that remains is my willpower. Drawings by Goya will open in November at the Prado Museum in Madrid, presenting 200 drawings by the artist collected from both public and private collections around the world, in addition to the Prado’s own collections.
Francisco Goya was a Spanish romantic painter, drawer and printmaker working through the late 18th and early 19th century as a court painter to the Spanish Crown. This involved painting commissions for the royal family and aristocrats as well as for politicians, intellectuals and military figures.
The exhibition is the result of the research undertaken for a catalogue that comprises the corpus of Goya's drawings, an ambitious project that started with Gassier's catalogue back in 1973 and has continuously expanded. The exhibition presents a chronological survey of Goya’s drawings with examples from every period of his career, offering a modern vision of the ideas that Goya recurrently interpreted throughout his lifetime.
