Diploma Lecture Series 2013 Revolution to Romanticism: European Art and Culture 1750-1850
Goya Michael Hill 20/21 February 2013
Lecture summary:
Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) was the quintessentially ambitious artist, competing with the greats of the past and mastering every genre of painting. He became deaf mid-way through his career, plunging him into a silent world of visual narrative. This perhaps accounts for something of the intense emotionalism of his storytelling, which culminates in the so-called ‘Black paintings’ of his last years.
