Exhibition:
Fantasies, Follies and Disasters: The Prints of Francisco de Goya
Discover Goya's extraordinary use of imagination, wit and satire in this exhibition of around 30 rarely-displayed prints from our collections.
Exhibits are taken from the artist's three main groups of etchings: The Fantasies, The Disasters of War and The Follies, all of which were withdrawn or withheld from publication publication during his lifetime because of their controversial, disturbing or strange qualities.
You'll also be able to see the Chapman Brothers' gruesome sculpture Disasters of War (1993) alongside the Goya etchings that inspired it. See Visual Dialogues: Disasters of War for more details.
