«Goya» is the biography of Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes written by Robert Hughes, published by Karl Blessing in hardcover (446 pages, in German).
Hughes follows Goya's trajectory from his early commissions for the Church to the court and the dark works of his final years. He places the artist in the context of Spanish history: street violence, the Inquisition and war, and shows how those forces shaped his art; a work between biography and cultural chronicle.
German edition published in 2004, translated from English, with illustrations; the cover bears the subtitle «Der Künstler und seine Zeit».
It is a book for those interested in art history, artist biographies and the history of Spain.
