Excerpt from Paintings and Drawings by Francisco Goya in the Collection of the Hispanic Society of America
His art reflected the savagery, the sensuality, theromanticism, the disorder, the fundamental melan choly of the period in which he lived, its strange atmosphere of passion and conflict. Despite its num berless eccentricities and manifest imperfections, his work lived, and, living, proves his genius. Through it he gave the world not only visions of new beauty. But a marvellous record of the soul of the Spain he knew.
