Book Summary

Howard's biography traces Goya's journey from his early works, influenced by the Rococo style, to his later, more introspective pieces that reflect the darker aspects of human nature. The narrative examines key periods in Goya's life, including his tenure as court painter, his response to the Napoleonic invasion of Spain, and his personal afflictions, such as the illness that left him deaf. Through these lenses, Howard illuminates how Goya's art evolved to encompass themes of war, madness, and the grotesque.
