Goya Works in the Museum of Boston

The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston exhibits until January 19^th the exhibition Goya: orden y desorden (Goya: order and disorder), considered the biggest of the Spanish painter in the United States in the last 25 years.

The exhibition is an attempt, through 160 paintings, prints and drawings, to cover the creative universe of the genius, his findings and contradictions, his devotions and fears, according to organizers.
 

On this subject, the MFA director Malcolm Rogers, said it is a unique look in our generation at one of the most important and imaginative artists of all time.
Rogers noted that the exhibit has been possible thanks to the collaboration of a number of institutions in several countries and private collections.

The most important contribution is the one of Prado Museum in Madrid, which gave 21 paintings from its collection, the most transcendental of the world of the artist.
 

There are also works from the Louvre Museum, the Galleira degli Uffizi in Florence, the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the National Gallery in Washington, he said.
 

The exhibition is the clearest proof of the growing interest in Goya, whose works starring museums programming around the world, recognizes the critics.

The work of the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) covers the easel and mural painting, printmaking and drawing, facets in which he developed a style that inaugurated the Romanticism period.
