A review by doriastories
Goya by Robert Hughes

5.0

Phenomenal, enthralling biography of Goya, chock full of reproductions - many in full color - of a wonderful variety of his works, covering his entire, long and storied career. A joy and thrilling to read, and savor. Hughes keeps the painter's life in historical comtext, adding background where needed, but not excessively. A wonderfully balanced and terrifically well written book, which I was sad to finish.
