An artist for you.

Fernando Cabrera Cantó 1866-1937.

Calling this morbid misses the point woefully. An unusual subject but this is hardly sombre. Bursting with vibrancy and vitality, per the title

I went to this exhibition of baroque art from Spain and Latin America on Saturday evening.

Just under sixty works from New York's Hispanic Society Museum & Library are on display at the UT-Austin's Blanton Museum.

The Blanton is open until 8:00 PM on Saturday evenings. I wish more museums were able to open after regular working hours.

I enjoyed and learned from the exhibition. although I was disappointed to see that there was no catalogue published especially for the exhibition.

In the thread, I will pick out three pictures that particularly caught my attention.

Explore highlights from the esteemed collection of The Hispanic Society Museum & Library, tracing a 150-year history of Spanish painting.

Goya was born in 1746 to ordinary parents, in a Spain struggling to modernize under the Bourbons.

Before him, here’s a piece by his teacher José Luzán — The Dream of Joseph (c. 1770). A fine example of #Rococo, soon eclipsed by Goya’s darker vision.

As the Boston MFA caption points out, the artist's decision to limit the colours makes this so powerful. It's one of those pictures I come back to again and again in my mind's eye.
