The 19th Century in the Prado

Prado Museum, Madrid

19th-century Spanish art from Goya to Sorolla

Held from October 31 2007 to April 20 2008, this exhibition will bring to public attention the Museum's collection of modern paintings. The new extension will provide the perfect setting for this renewed focus on its exceptional holdings of 19th-century art, which have been inaccessible for many years, during which time they have been the subject of a major research and restoration project. This has not only led to the present exhibition but also to the publication of an exhaustive catalogue in which they will all be published for the first time.The public has the opportunity to rediscover Spanish art from the last quarter of the century of Goya to the birth of Picasso.

A survey of 19th-century Spanish art from Goya to Sorolla
The 19th Century in the Prado will be displayed in the impressive new temporary exhibition galleries and consists in a selection of more than 100 works that offer a survey of 19th-century Spanish art from Goya to Sorolla. The Museum has chosen this as its inaugural exhibition for the new wing in order to make up for the neglect that these artists have suffered for many years, given that there has been so little space to display their works. Comprising a group of 95 paintings and 12 sculptures, the exhibition will also include a complementary section featuring a selection of drawings by Goya, headed by the magnificent Winged Bull.This work will be displayed to the public for the first time following its acquisition for the Museum last year.
