Isidre Nonell mirando a Goya. Colección Casacuberta Marsans

For the first time, the Casacuberta Marsans Collection of Hispanic art is being presented in Madrid, offering the opportunity to discover an exceptional group of works by Isidre Nonell, an artist who has only rarely been exhibited in this city.

The title of this exhibition, Isidre Nonell mirando a Goya (Isidre Nonell Looking at Goya), proposes a dialogue between two artists separated by more than a century, yet united by a shared gaze. It is both a literal and symbolic encounter in which Nonell’s works are placed in the museum alongside those of Francisco de Goya —facing each other— inviting viewers to discover a shared sensitivity toward the marginal and the tragic, a way of seeing the truth behind the sitter rather than reproducing the aesthetic and moral conventions of their time.

The Casacuberta Marsans Collection presents twelve emblematic works —seven oil paintings and five drawings— that together form a representative ensemble of this painter’s creative universe, as well as the countercultural vision he embodied in his time. Each piece reveals how Isidre Nonell, in his search for an alternative away from traditional painting, developed an original and innovative language both in his choice of subjects and in the execution of his works.
