Sarah Symmons' fascinating account locates Goya in the context of his
Spanish heritage, traces the immense influence of his work throughout
Europe and considers the continued relevance of his art in the twentieth
century. Drawings, oil paintings, frescos, tapestry designs and prints
all convey the full range of Goya's work. Symmons draws on the most
recent scholarship and on rediscovered works to create a comprehensive
portrait of this complex artist that is perfectly up-to-date and highly
absorbing.
