36 pieces 3 collections Madrid, Spain

Goya painted Spain's royals and aristocrats with dazzling skill, then, deaf and disillusioned, etched the follies, wars and nightmares no one else would show. He filled private albums with ink drawings all his life, and in his last years in Bordeaux he was still trying new things, from lithography to painting on ivory. The pieces here are in the public domain, from museums that share their collections openly.
