A hundred years after the “Incestuoso connubio con su madre la muerte”, the Museo Nacional de Arte could not help to homage Julio Ruelas by presenting the exhibition El viajero lúgubre. Julio Ruelas modernista 1870-1907. The museum gathered in one exhibition a selection of his oils, all of his engravings and more than a hundred inks done by the artist during his short but prolific career. Each section of the exhibition, proposed by the curatorial team, guided us through the colorful, painful, troubled and fanciful world that Ruelas created for the Revista Moderna, in which pages we can find in a good part his thematic inspiration.
