In collaboration with the Musée Goya de Castres

This exhibition thoroughly revisits the drawing aspect of the painter Mariano Fortuny y Marsal (1838-1874), one of the main artists of the permanent collection of the Carmen Thyssen Museum Málaga.

Through about thirty drawings and prints by the author, coming from the Musée Goya de Castres, the main subjects addressed by Fortuny at different times of his career and in various places (Barcelona, Morocco, Rome, Granada) will be displayed: genre and everyday scenes, orientalist themes, and characters studied from life. All these are testimonies of his absolute mastery in drawing, from his first student exercises to his elaborate compositions, showcasing incomparable creative versatility and heralding a promising modernity cut short by his early death at just 36 years old.
