Product Description
Product Description
Goya was born in 1746. By the time he was 47 he was the highest paid and most famous artist in Spain, had gone profoundly deaf and six of his seven children had died. From an early age Goya was anxious to preserve a record of his life, but few of his writings have survived and his most personal records appear in his letters. He corresponded regularly with the aristocracy and monarchy, as well as with friends. Goya's surviving letters reveal a highly emotional man, prepared to state his feelings as passionately to the authorities of a cathedral as to a close friend. Highly individual, his letters signal a new attitude on the part of a fine artist towards his profession, his social position and his sources of inspiration.
From the Publisher
Entertaining, tragic, comical, obscene and surprising - these are the letters of the major eighteenth century Spanish painter, Francisco Goya.
