FRANCISCO GOYA

Of Goya's work, there is the complete series of the 'Caprichos'; The series has the follies of man as its subject, not sparing the clergy either. The critical nature of the 'Caprichos' forced Goya to withdraw the series from the sale, fearing persecution by the Inquisition, which has already brought so many freethinkers here to the north.
