Museum Het Rembrandthuis (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Both Goya and Picasso were endowed with extremely inquisitive, all-seeing and all-absorbing gazes; their power to retain and recall visual impressions was extraordinarily acute. Each one spent many hours scrutinizing the etchings of Rembrandt, and in their distinctive ways, absorbed formal and technical lessons from the admired 17th-century master, which then emerged in their own works. In this study the authors reconstruct the gazes of these two great Spanish visual geniuses onto the work of the timeless Dutch artist in order to illuminate these remarkable relationships.
