Francisco Goya: monarchs, majas, torments

New lecture from the art critic Andrei Sakov on the Spanish painter and graphic artist, one of the first and most prominent artists of the Romantic era, Francisco Goya.
βI donβt want to talk about clichΓ©s about the βSpanish geniusβ and the βfounder of modern art.β About the βgloomy court artistβ and the deafness that sharpened all the nerves. About intrigue, gossip, betrayal, escape. And I donβt want to talk about wars and executions either.
But we will. Without all this, the conversation about Goya will be short, but we have about 2 hours and during this time I want to trace one of the most powerful artistic transformations: from almost brochures of travel agencies about travel to Spain to Saturn gnawing his son.β
