ΟΙ "ΜΑΥΡΟΙ" ΠΙΝΑΚΕΣ ΤΟΥ ΓΚΟΓΙΑ

The Black Paintings (Spanish: Pinturas negras) is the name given to a group of fourteen paintings by Francisco Goya from the later years of his life, likely between 1819 and 1823. They portray intense, haunting themes, reflective of both his fear of insanity and by then, his bleak outlook on humanity. In 1819, at the age of 72, Goya moved into a two-story house outside Madrid called Quinta del Sordo (Deaf Man's Villa). Although the house had been named after the previous owner, who was deaf, Goya was himself nearly totally deaf at the time as a result of an illness he had suffered when he was 46. The paintings were originally painted as murals on the walls of the house and the murals were transferred onto canvas in 1874. They are currently held in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.[.....]
