The \u003ci\u003eAlbum C\u003c\/i\u003e is an example of the complexity of Goya's work; made over the course of the War for Independence and the following years of repression, its theme is influenced in many aspects by the historical moment (1808-1820). It covers a vast range of topics, from aspects of everyday life (with the presence of numerous beggars) to dreamy visions of the night world; a vast group of sheets is made up of drawings of prisoners of the Inquisition and scenes of cruelty in prisons. Another group concerns a critique of habits of monastic orders and the representation of monastic life, secularised after the decrees of French authorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eCuaderno C (Album C)\u003c\/i\u003e is the most important and unique album that has survived almost intact, without dismemberment or subsequent selling, and it is held at the Museo del Prado, formerly in the Museo della Trinità. Of the 126 drawings known, 120 are at the Museo del Prado, one at the National Library in Madrid (C 56), one at the British Museum of London (C 88), two at the Hispanic Society of America in New York (C 71 and C 128) and another two in a private collection in New York (C 11 and C 78). Unlike the first two drawing albums \u003ci\u003e[Albums A and B]\u003c\/i\u003e, bought by Goya already bound, he made the \u003ci\u003eAlbum C\u003c\/i\u003e himself with sheets of Spanish paper and not with Dutch paper from better quality, due to the economic situation of the artist and the countryin war and post-war periods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn essay by José Manuel Matilla Rodríguez, art historian and head of the Department of Drawings and Prints at the Museo Nacional del Prado, accompanies the volume of drawings.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665620242468,"sku":"9788857243627","price":70.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857243627.jpg?v=1777356004","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/cuaderno-c-francisco-de-goya","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
