Watch: Getting to Know Goya

Watch the new QSSI event, a conversation between Francisco Chaparro and Cristina Domenech about the exhibition “Goya’s Graphic Imagination”

 

Francisco Chaparro, Ph.D and Cristina Domenech, Ph.D share behind-the-scenes insights of the exhibition “Goya’s Graphic Imagination” held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City from February 12 – May 2, 2021. The exhibition explored how Goya’s drawings, prints, and etchings allowed him to share his complex ideas and respond to the turbulent social and political changes occurring in Spain and the world around him.

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.
