Goya

Francisco Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) is one of the undisputed masters of 19th-century Spanish painting. He is also often called "The first of the Moderns" because of his bold technique and his belief that the personal vision of the artist is more important than the tradition. With illustrations and the text covering the main incidents of his life, this book on Spanish painter Goya will entice all art lovers.

Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) fue reconocido a una edad muy temprana como el principal artista de España y fue mejorando hasta convertirse en el retratista oficial de la Corte. Su fama se basaba en la calidad y velocidad con las que ejecutaba sus dibujos, y sus grabados poseen una delicadeza extraordinaria.
