It highlights the portraits Goya created for the Infante's family and showcases works by other artists of the courtly circle, alongside decorative arts and graphic documents.
The exhibition "Goya y el Infante Don Luis: el exilio y el reino" delves into the significant period from 1783 to 1784 when Goya spent time at the court of Infante Don Luis in Arenas de San Pedro, following his morganatic marriage and subsequent removal from Madrid. This period was exceptionally productive for Goya, yielding not only the celebrated portrait "La familia del Infante Don Luis" but also a series of individual portraits of all family members. The exhibition displays over 300 pieces, including 17 works by Goya himself, complemented by contributions from his contemporaries such as Luis Paret, Mariano Salvador Maella, Francisco Bayeu, Luis Meléndez, Mengs, and Tiépolo. Beyond painting, the exhibition also encompasses a notable selection of decorative arts and graphic documents, underscoring the Infante Don Luis's pivotal role as the center of a select courtly circle in Arenas de San Pedro.
