Goya's prison - the year of despair: Exhibition

An investigation of Goya's cabinet paintings produced around 1793 in the months after he was consumed by a mystery illness that left him profoundly deaf. The subjects were diverse - including shipwrecks, fies, a stagecoach hold up, bullfighting and a lunatic asylum. But of the 12 images it was his portrayal of the inside of a prison that perhaps best conveyed Goya's state of mind. This display will study this painting in detail, with reference to others in the series.
