Goya: From Humble Abode to Royal Palace - Gallery of the Masters

Beginning his artistic career as a modest cartoonist and later attracting the interest of Spanish royalty, Francisco Goya bridged the divide between the Old Masters and more modern painters with his irreverent portraits striking out against the notion of human divinity. This documentary program explores Goya's fascinating life and works, reviewing how a stroke in middle age transformed his craft and magnified his influence through the 19th and 20th centuries. 30 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
