The Good Samaritan, 1861
litography, paper
565 × 445 mm


"Two Masters of Fantasy: Bresdin and Redon" features the prints and drawings of two artists who explored worlds of the imagination, the inner reality of the subconscious, and of dream. The eccentric French printmaker and draftsman Rodolphe Bresdin (1822-1885) created a miniature world dominated by the overwhelmingly intricate web of nature. He was the teacher of Odilon Redon (1840-1916), who was master of blackness in his lithographs and drawings (noirs). Two major drawings (one newly acquired) and a selection of lithographs explore his invented mythologies. The exhibition consists of 40 works drawn primarily from the Museum's collection with a few loans from private collectors.

George Grosz (1893 – 1959) german artist. Near the Academy, he studied caricatures. The difficulties of living were forced to draw into : his humorous, satyric drawings were very popular. His compositions were mainly like graphics than paintings.

He hated cruelity, and he was dreaming of mankind happiness. May be that was the reason he can illustrate with cruel. Grosz's satyre reveal the dark side of the society. His artworks and drawings were confiscated, banned, qualify against morality.

This exhibition presents a selection of works on paper – drawings, prints and photographs – acquired by the Museo del Prado between 1997 and 2010. It offers visitors the first opportunity to admire the most important works acquired over this period and which are normally stored in the Department of Prints and Drawings due to their fragile nature. In addition, the exhibition sets out the Museum’s principal strategies with regard to the acquisition of works on paper.

The Museum’s Department of Prints and Drawings, located in the new Jerónimos Building designed by Rafael Moneo, houses the collection of drawings, prints and old photographs that has been built up since the time of the Museum’s founding. Together with the original works from the royal collection, a number of additional groups were added such as those from the Museo de la Trinidad and the Museo de Arte Moderno. Together they constituted the core of this area of the Prado’s collection, which has been expanded over the years, particularly with the addition of the Pedro Fernández Durán Bequest in 1931. It has continued to grow over the years through significant acquisitions, particularly in the period from 1997 to 2010.

For the first time in the Museum’s history the catalogue has only been published in on-line format can download here.

Isoda Koryusai (1735-1790) was a Japanese printmaker and painter active from approximately 1764 to 1788.
The details of his life are under some dispute. He apparently came from a samurai background. One theory stated he became a ronin and was forced to turn to art, but another says he voluntarily gave up the life of a samurai for art. In 1781 he received the title Hokkyo for his talent and accomplishments.

Semmelweis Ignác, 1982
etching
355 × 250 mm

A Semmelweis Ignác egykori szülőházában működő Semmelweis Orvostörténeti Múzeum az orvostudomány és gyógyszerészet hazai és nemzetközi történetéből ad ízelítőt. Az állandó kiállítás az ókortól a 20. század elejéig tartó fejlődés tárgyi, művészeti és írásos emlékeit mutatja be, míg az időszaki kiállítások egy-egy különös téma köré csoportosítják olykor meghökkentő, más múzeumokban ritkán látható anyagukat.

A látogató nem csak ismeretekben, hanem élményekben is gazdagodhat ebben a sajátos légkörű múzeumban: beléphet Semmelweis egykori dolgozószobájába, vagy a kétszáz éves, pesti Szent Lélek patika faragott bútorai közé, gyönyörködhet a művészi kivitelű, 18. századi anatómiai viaszpreparátumokban, a miniatűr fogászati rendelőmodellben és a furcsa, ódon orvosi műszerekben egyaránt.

A Múzeum Gyűjteményében orvosokról, kutatókról, eszközökről készült rézkarcok, rézmetszetek is megtalálhatóak.
