The World Of Goya
Condition remarks:

A richly illustrated art historical biography, The World of Goya immerses readers in the turbulent life and visionary genius of Francisco Goya, one of Spain's most celebrated and influential painters. D. B. Wyndham Lewis chronicles the dramatic arc of Goya's career — from his early tapestry cartoons bursting with colour and life, through his searing war etchings and haunting Black Paintings — situating the artist within the volatile political and cultural upheavals of late 18th and early 19th century Spain. With authoritative prose, Lewis presents not merely a portrait of a painter, but a vivid panorama of an entire era, illustrating how Goya's art served as both a mirror and a critique of his society. Scholarly yet accessible, the work argues that Goya's unflinching vision foreshadowed the modern movement, cementing his legacy as a bridge between the Old Masters and the revolutionary spirit of contemporary art.
