A richly illustrated survey of one of Spain's most celebrated and enigmatic painters, this volume chronicles the life and artistic legacy of Francisco Goya (1746–1828), the court painter who became the forefather of modern art. Eric Young presents a compelling account of Goya's evolution from a rococo decorative painter to a fierce, visionary artist whose works — from the luminous Duchess of Alba portraits to the haunting Black Paintings — mirror the turbulent political upheavals of late 18th- and early 19th-century Spain. The book details Goya's technical mastery across oil painting, fresco, and printmaking, illustrating how his series The Disasters of War stands as one of history's most powerful anti-war statements. Authoritative and visually immersive, it argues for Goya's enduring influence on Romanticism, Impressionism, and Expressionism, positioning him as a bridge between the Old Masters and the modern age.
