Renaissance to Goya: Prints and Drawings from Spain

The great tradition of printmaking and drawing in Spain has rarely been examined. This spectacular volume of drawings and prints looks at the history of graphic practice in Spain for the first time, providing an overview of more than two hundred years.The British Museum holds one of the best collections of Spanish drawings from the late 16th to the 18th century outside Spain. Featuring a remarkable series of Goya prints, this title complements an exhibition at the Museum from 20 September 2012 to 5 January 2013. The collection was last shown in the 1970s (an incomplete selection) and has never before been catalogued.
