June 10 — July 26, 2009

This is the final weekend of an exhibition of Goya’s Tauromaquia at the Bancaja Cultural Center in Valencia. Produced around 1815, these prints dedicated to the history of bullfighting are discussed in Andy Schulz’s recent article, “Moors and the Bullfight: History and National Identity in Goya’s Tauromaquia,” Art Bulletin 90 (June 2008).

In the fall, the Bancaja Center will host an exhibition of Piranesi’s prints on loan from the Museu de Montserrat. The show opens on September 10 and runs until November 8.
