Dame Maria Paula Figueiroa Rego, who came of age in 1950s Portugal—a time of fascist dictatorship—creates images drawn from myths and folk tales, and tells stories of family, societal, and political dysfunction. Her imagery is both majestic and crude. Francisco de Goya, who came of age in late–1700s Spain, created court work that addressed war, death, and souls in torment. The two artists lived two centuries apart, yet both confronted the realm of the uncanny. This exhibition in Bath places their work side by side for the first time, and includes Goya’s series “The Follies” (1815–23) and Rego’s series “Nursery Rhymes” (1989). —Elena Clavarino
