Successor to Velázquez, hero to Picasso. Discover Spain’s most famous artist in this cinematic tour, based on the unpublished exhibition at the National Gallery in London – Goya: The Portraits.
Francisco Goya is the most famous artist in Spain and is considered the father of modern art. Not only a fine observer of the daily life and of the problematic past of Spain, but also an artist gifted in the art of portraiture and a commentator of social problems par excellence. Goya brings the portrait, in style, to new heights, and his genius is re-evaluated in the much awaited exhibition at the National Gallery in London. The film uses the exhibition to delve into Goya’s tumultuous life.
