Almudí Goya comes to the Palace.
To mark the bicentennial of the War of Independence, the Hall of Columns collects eighty engravings of the Aragonese painter performed between 1810 and 1814, under the name of 'The Disasters of War. "
The collaboration between the Department of Culture and Ibercaja has allowed this sample to reach Murcia after Barcelona will travel to Calatayud.
All these prints are one of the most exciting sets of images, dramatic and impressive and they play the cruelty of war.
They are made of different printing techniques such as etching, gouache and aquatint on copper plates and are an example of the teaching of Goya recorder.
The first two parts of disasters tell the war and its consequences.
In the third part, from the number 66 and even 80, Goya attacked the absolute power restored in Spain by Ferdinand VII, against the return to the Ancien Regime, against the Church, an ally of absolute power, the Inquisition and against Spanish subjugation of those powers.
The exhibition opens this evening at 20 pm and will remain open until January 11.
