Metropolitan Museum of Art: “Goya and the Altamira Family”

Don_Manuel_Osorio_Manrique_de_Zuniga

“In this small but intensely gratifying exhibition, the Met has reunited Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga, the little red-suited boy in its prize Goya portrait, with his parents and three of his six siblings. (Four of the paintings are by Goya, and one is by his less talented Spanish collaborator Agustín Esteve y Marqués.) It’s a rare opportunity to see a single aristocratic family through Goya’s eyes, and to appreciate a pivotal moment in his career: when he was shoring up his reputation as a pre-eminent court painter.”
