Goya: The Most Spanish of Artists

Francisco Goya’s paintings, drawings, and prints reveal a universal human experience as well as that which is uniquely Spanish. Gain an insider’s knowledge of the exhibition “Goya: Order and Disorder” with its curators Frederick Ilchman, chair, Art of Europe, and Mrs. Russell W. Baker Curator of Paintings; and Stephanie Stepanek, curator, Prints and Drawings.

This was fantastic. I know it was five years ago, but thank you so much for putting this up. I learned so much. I watched the whole thing. Fascinating, impeccably curated and a beautiful presentation. Bravo and Brava, Frederick and Stephanie.

I have them all in a Playlist. Their WONDERFUL to listen to.... to relax & go to sleep learning something. (I wear a headband with ear buttons in it), When awakened by the Rude & UNcaring upstairs neighbor. I lay here focusing on what painting their talking about.... til I fall back to sleep. 0ł

When she mentions Velasquez as having achieved prominence at the court of Charles IV, of course she means to say Philip IV. I wish I could have seen the exhibition.

Don't these people ever retire?

Thank you for this

[@ChillVanille]

This was frightful.

[@carmenfernandez5396]

He wasn't a Spanish artist because he traveled to Italy? With that argument, we must also deny the existence of English and French painting since all artists (who could) at this time did the Grand Tour.

the Inquisition was prohibited by the enlightened king, Carlos III in 1760s, NOT by Joseph Bonaparte IN 1810. jJoseph only re-prohibited it after it was reinstalled by Ferdinand VII during his brief interlude.

When she said that spanish culture was something apart from Europe I realised the rest of the conference would be truffled with similar nonsense...

[@KrlKngMrtssn]

it's very Anglo thing to separate Spain from Europe. In the Anglo world spanish stuff is not considered to be very European.

[@jesussanchezherrero5659]

@@KrlKngMrtssn you're right. I can't understand why besides the Black Legend propaganda

[@amira1320]

I think she means it in the sense that the Enlightenment didn't properly take root in Spain as it did in other European countries over the course of the 18th century. This is not to say that it was apart, or that it isn't 'European'.

[@MrSludov]

@@amira1320 In any of both cases, she is wrong.

[@amira1320]

[@cinereus3601]

this is very hard to listen to

[@romanovski5]

I had to stop watching at the introduction by that lady as describing “Spanish’’ as something other and removed from the rest of Europe.

[@TheTeacher1020]

Content aside, this lecture was hard to watch. The presenter, who was reading from a script, made zero eye contact, stumbled over every other word, and had trouble pronouncing Spanish names. Goya deserved so much better. Very disappointing.

[@sessionskeith]

Avoid at ALL costs. Frightful !!! presentation of Goya.

[@hoosomio]

VELASQUEZ is more SPAIN ¡¡ .PICASSO

[@woodsplitter3274]

But neither is Spanish as the artist at Altàmira.
