Oracle of DelphiFrancisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes: Images at Portland Museum of Art
January 1st 2007 12:16
One of the giants of early 19th century Spanish art has found himself reappreciated - a set of 80 black-and-white etchings, Los Caprichos, by Spanish artist Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828), going on view at the Portland Museum of Art from December 16, 2006 through February 25, 2007.
Los Caprichos, one of the most influential series of graphic images in the history of Western art, provides a satirical and damning look at 18th-century Spanish society. This superb first edition set of these controversial etchings, published in 1799, is one of four sets acquired directly from Goya by the Duke and Duchess of Osuna.
