Stéphane Levallois, one of the great creators of fantastic cinema, reflects on the monsters that Francisco de Goya painted more than 200 years ago and recreates this universe in dialogue with Hellboy, one of the most popular creatures in 21st-century comics and fantastic cinema, in the exhibition “Goya-Hellboy. An Iconography of Monsters by Stéphane Levallois.”

Inaugurated today, “Goya-Hellboy. An Iconography of Monsters by Stéphane Levallois” brings together 72 original illustrations in which the prestigious French illustrator Stéphane Levallois reflects on and captures the iconography of the Spanish painter and printmaker in creations inspired by the contemporary superhero Hellboy.

Visitors will also find two of Goya’s most notable print series, whose influence is particularly evident in Levallois’s work: “Los caprichos” and “Los disparates,” from the Afundación Art Collection.

Additionally, the exhibition includes two sheets lent and signed by the creator of the Hellboy saga, the legendary American comic book author Mike Mignola, who in 2008 already paid a fascinating tribute to Goya through a comic, now part of the exhibition, confirming Goya’s profound influence on creators of fantastic genres.

Curated by the renowned cinema and comic specialist Asier Mensuro, the exhibition will remain open until January 24.
