Written and presented by Robert Hughes, one of the worlds most prominent art commentators, this program explores the life and work of Francisco Goya focusing on the painters subversive, often gruesome outlook. The video provides in-depth visual and intellectual analysis of dark Goya masterpieces, including The Dream of Reason, Witches in the Air, and The Third of May, as well as examples of his portraiture and early work such as The Duchess of Alba, both Majas, and a gratuitously violent tapestry painting. Links between Goyas work, deafness, and political stance are explored in detail, while observations from painter Leon Golub highlight Goyas continuing relevance.
