For the first time, seldom seen paintings from Spanish private collections are shown alongside key works from the most prestigious European and American museums and private collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a new film by contemporary French artist, Philippe Parren, who documents Goya's fourteen 'Pinturas negras' (Black paintings).
