Children at Play in Goya's Tapestry Cartoons
|
Conference
2 June Saturday 2012, 14:30
Dr. Arturo Ansón Navarro
In his tapestry cartoons, Goya represented with total authenticity the daily life of the time, the customary habits of the people, and their way of having fun. Children are among the most prominent figures on those cartoons. The six canvases called "Children at Play" (Juegos Infantiles) were made between 1785-1786, independently from other tapestry cartoons made by the artist, as a "divertimento".
Ph.D. in History of Art, Anson is Lecturer at Zaragoza University (Faculty of Arts). As a scholar, he focuses on Spanish painting of 18thand 19th centuries. As a curator, he has collaborated exhibitions about Spanish drawings and the works of Goya.
