Goya : Du Ciel A L'enfer En Passant Par Le Monde

Pioneers and innovators of the end of the 18th century, Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1764-1828) being one of the most remarkable of them, are marked by a disturbing duality, both on moral and aesthetic level.

This richly illustrated book offers a large overview of Goya's painted and engraved work, of his exceptional visual world which, in its fundamental ambiguity and unfathomable enigmas, remains today a metaphor of the "world as an asylum": hell of the hereafter and earthly hell are closely intertwined.
