Features: Goya was a famous Spanish painter of the 18th century. With the eyes of a merciless portrait painter and the gaze of a clear and solitary individual, he witnessed all aspects of Spain in his time. His brushwork depicted not only the festivals, traditions, and hopes of Spain but also the decline of the court, the horrors of war, and social injustices. Princes and bullfighters, princesses and maids, courtiers and poets—all were laid bare under Goya's watchful eye.
