The Francisco Godia Foundation is presenting the exhibition „From Luca Giordano to Goya: 18th Century Painting in Spain”, an exhibition that aims to present Spanish painting of this century which doesn’t receive much attention because of the Golden Age of painting, the 17th century.
The exhibition presents 23 works from Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassicism und the early Romanticism but you will also see paintings that influenced these two artists profoundly.
Like the title suggests the focus of the exhibition is Francisco de Goya. This great artist, one of the most important in art history, is represented in this exhibition with 5 different works. Amongst them paintings that have been talked about a lot but seen very little: Sacrificio a Vesta (1771), and Sacrificio a Pan (1771). In these paintings Goya’s interest in mythological themes is very present, that coined his youth. Another work La obra, con la conducciüon de un sillar (1786) is one of the few that belongs to a Spanish collection, that of the Planeta group.
The paintings from the 18th century haven’t gained much attention in Spanish exhibitions until now, which was a reason for the Francisco Godia Foundation to take on this endeavour.
