Widely regarded as one of the most influential artists in history, the works of Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746—1828)—encompassing portraits, paintings, drawings, and prints—have captivated American collectors and the public for many years. The symposium will explore the artistic, cultural, and commercial networks through which Goya’s art has entered various museum collections in the United States, including the Meadows Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Morgan Library, and our own Hispanic Society Museum & Library. A distinguished group of curators and scholars will convene to discuss the practices of collecting and curating Goya’s art, as well as the evolving academic discourse surrounding the artist from the late 19th century to the present.
