Více o knize

Goya's influence as a pivotal figure in the transition from the 18th to 19th century is explored through his artistic contributions, particularly his portraits of the Spanish nobility and the satirical aquatint etchings in "Los Caprichos." These works reveal societal archetypes that, while appearing normal at first glance, expose the underlying vices of humanity. By delving into the complexities of his subjects, Goya not only set new artistic standards but also provided a critical commentary on society that continues to resonate with audiences today.
