Features: Goya was a famous Spanish painter of the 18th century. With the eyes of an unkind portrait painter and the gaze of a clear and lonely individual, he witnessed all aspects of Spain in his time. His brushwork depicted both the festivals, traditions, and hopes of Spain and the decline of the court, the horrors of war, and social injustice. Princes and bullfighters, princesses and, courtiers and poets—all were laid bare under Goya's watchful eyes.
