About the Event
Lecturer Lydia Bauman
Location Hybrid (in-person and online)
Although better known for his famous social critique, the ‘caprichos’, Disasters of War series and the so-called Black Paintings, Goya’s position as Painter to the King meant that he was primarily a very prolific portraitist. An astute and unsparing observer, his portraits of aristocrats, liberals, despots and friends map out a portrait of a Spanish society fluctuating between Enlightenment and repression.
