A discussion about the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition “Goya’s Graphic Imagination” with co-curator Francisco J. R. Chaparro

Join the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute on Thursday, May 6th for a conversation between Francisco Chaparro, Ph.D and Cristina Domenech, Ph.D about the exhibition “Goya’s Graphic Imagination” held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City from February 12 – May 2, 2021.

Francisco Chaparro was a Curatorial Studies Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2017 and conducted research in the early stages of the Goya’s Graphic Imagination show. For the catalogue, Chaparro contributed 35 entries, a chronology and four essays. He is a specialist in Goya’s work, having graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, in 2019 with a dissertation on Goya and victimhood supervised by Jonathan Brown and Robert Slifkin.

The exhibition explores Goya’s graphic imagination and how his drawings, prints, and etchings allowed him to share his complex ideas and respond to the turbulent social and political changes occurring in the world around him.

Along with Cristina Domenech, member of the Cultural Advisory Committee of the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute, Chaparro will share insights on the exhibition and the genius artistry of Goya.

The event will be streamed online via Youtube on May 6th, at 12 noon EST (18:00 CET).
