From Goya to Sorolla: Masterpieces From the Hispanic Society of America May 11, 2007

This exhibit features nearly 70 works of art by 19th- and 20th-century Spanish masters, all of them borrowed from the acclaimed collection of Spanish art owned by the Hispanic Society of America in Manhattan. The show celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Society's founding, and it includes a sumptuous array of remarkable Spanish works of art, beginning with two portraits by Francisco Goya, working its way through all the great figurative and landscape painters to the 19th century, from classicism to Impressionism and culminating in a spectacular group of early 20th-century masterpieces by the great Joaquin Sorolla, including a monumental portrait of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
