Remarkable how traumatic happenings like Napoleon can produce such exquisite work. Sounds like a cliche, but it really is just a testament to humanity’s transformative powers, making even destruction an opportunity for beautiful creation.
I want to say that " the meadow of San Isidro " was not painted in 1798, but in 1785, four years before the french revolution.
Although the "black paintings" are important, I want to emphasize that Goya is also famous for many other paintings, from everyday scenes of the people, to famous people of his time, etc: kings, aristocrats, soldiers, etc. He even dedicated a painting to his doctor, Dr. Arrieta
The "black paintings" are recognized, but it is unfair to say that it is the only thing Goya is known for
Remarkable story of how the mind transforms and the finger expressed what horrors the eyes absorb, as it’s in the eyes of his black paintings that we all relate. Wonderful post
