Ideología y poder en los discursos museográficos: la creación de «salas de Goya» en los museos españoles (1875-1915)

Abstract

In the late nineteenth century in Spain, the figure of Goya lived a process of recovery orchestrated from public institutions. A fun-damental ingredient was the creation of rooms dedicated to the artist in a monographic way in Spanish museums. Through this study, new data about the creation of «Goya’s rooms» are presented: in the Prado Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia and the old Provincial Museum of Zaragoza. It offers an overview of the motivations that led to the creation of these spaces and their importance in the canonization of the Aragonese master.
