Hardly any other artist created such a wide range of work spanning so many eras and styles as Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, known simply as Goya in English. Goya's lifetime in the 18th and 19th century saw many upheavals in politics, society and culture that are also reflected in his works. During my Gorgeous Goya Tour in Madrid we'll get a very broad view on the unstable and tumultuous Spain of that era by discovering plenty of the artist's marvellous works. His entire work tends to look both ways, showing styles ranging from classic academic art to what would become Modernism, with tender and playful Rococo and classical elegance to rugged realism and dark Romanticism. His painting is as famous as his drawings, with which he set new standards. He painted and drew the life that surrounded him and increasingly made people in general his subject. Goya turned his eye to the margins of society and taboos, including the Inquisition, jail and madhouse scenes. Get as fascinated as me by Goya's duality!
My Gorgeous Goya Tour will lead you to all the corners of Francisco de Goya's imagination. We'll discover his early works, his tapestry sketches, frescos, court paintings, portraits, socially critical etchings and his black paintings which he made on the walls of his latest house in Spain. I'll take you to three different museums, of which one is the famous Prado museum, the other one is the art academy of which he was a director and the last one is a way lesser known museum Lázaro Galdiano. On top of that we'll visit the church where Goya made his famous frescoes in Madrid. We'll walk through his life and you'll be even able to pay him a tribute at his grave. This itinerary can of course be adapted to your own specific interests. Do not hesitate to contact me for a customised tour.
