From Pencil to Burin. Drawings for Printmaking in Goya's Day
Published on November 15, 2023
This exhibition presents a survey of drawings made in the 18th and 19th centuries as preparatory designs for copperplate engravings, emphasizing and highlighting both their functional and artistic importance.
The exhibition includes works by a number of artists but the principal focus is on two key figures in the development of the art of engraving: Manuel Salvador Carmona (1734-1820), an artist possessed of the greatest technical command of engraving in Spain and Francisco de Goya (1746-1828), whose remarkable artistic powers and particular understanding of etching opened up new directions in the creation of engravings.
The works will be on view at the Museo del Prado, Paseo del Prado, 28014, Madrid Spain from October 17, 2023 – January 14, 2024.
