    In this full-length film, I look at Francisco Goya's later works. At the age of 46, Goya suffered from a severe illness that caused loss of vision and hearing, tinnitus, dizziness, right-sides paralysis, weakness and general malaise. Although he recovered from a cerebral stroke which accompanied it, he went completely deaf. From this point on his work took a darker tone.
    To understand Francisco Goya's Black Paintings, we need to understand how he went from a popular well-loved royal portrait artist to painting deeply disturbing imagery on the bare walls of his house in total isolation.
    His darker work was never really seen in his lifetime. His series of etchings known as Los Caprichos was withdrawn from public sale for fear of attack by the Inquisition, and his deeply pessimistic 'Disasters of War' was so gruesome and radical it had to wait until his death to be published. Even his masterpiece, The Third of May 1808, was censored by the king and hidden away.
    His wife and most of his friends were dead and he had become isolated. He was 73-years old, sick, and completely deaf. His long life was coming to a close… BUT he wasn’t finished yet. The man who had once painted crucifixions, miracles, saints, and priests, now painted terrifying, demonic, raw and brutal works - works without even a hint of God.
    His last years were spent in isolation secretly creating some of the most horrific images in Western art, The Black Paintings.
    Using footage from my earlier short films, Goya Part 1 and Goya Part 2, I have added about 25 minutes of new footage to make this full-length film.

    This is great! I was in Madrid recently and saw the Black Paintings and Goya's other works at the Prado Museum. Seeing these works in real life affected me unexpectedly as I never realized just how rare it is to see paintings with dark themes and palettes. I was also surprised at how big or small some of the pieces were and just going into the room where the works were kept was lit with low and moody lighting. Before my trip to Spain, I had little idea of how much of my art knowledge was surrounded by Spanish Art (Goya, El Greco, Picasso, etc). I realized that now that I am older, I can empathize with these works with complex themes even more so now than when I first saw them on a printed art book. Thank you for this video, James. Just know that your hard work is greatly appreciated.

    What we get from Goya is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. 200 years later and humanity still hasn't evolved. Shame on us.

  • @thomasholland6334

    I've been aware of Goya my whole adult life. I was never that enraptured with him. Now I see him in a whole new light and just how my modern life preferences blinded me to this "The last of the old masters and first of the moderns" artist for the ages. I didn't want this video to end. It added a new chapter to my appreciation for art and I'm grateful.

    This is a fantastic conclusion to the Goya deep dive. You have me convinced there was no insanity - it just looked like it because the rest of the world was so insane and he was clear sighted.
    It was interesting to note that in the Third of May 1808 painting the colors of the focal character and the lamp mirrored each other. Another way he subverted the martyr image.

    I gotta say, man, you've exposed me to a new way to appreciate art. I always had a hard time "getting" art that seemed both obscure surrealism or hyper realistic. But because of how you explain these artworks, I can see that there's almost always something there that actually means something and isn't superficial.

    Your videos are extremely useful to anyone who enjoys and wants to learn about this visual art. I've discorvered the works of Francisco Goya because of your two other videos about him.
    And I was mesmerized by his work: : "Los Caprichos", "The Third of May 1808", "The Disasters of War", and "The Black Paintings". I don't know much about art, other than the things we learn in school: "Da Vinci is the the greatest painter eho has ever lived - just look at the Mona Lisa"; "Michelangelo was the artist who painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling".
    And because of your videos, I've learnt about artists such as: Edward Hopper, Francisco Goya, Basquiat, Hieronymus Bosch, Botticelli, Caravaggio.
    And in this craving to learn more about art I'm currently reading "The Story of Art" by E. H. Gombrich. Thank you very much for your content, which provides, in a really appealing way, the necessary knowlegde to understand and to be curious about art.

    @watching7721 Рік тому +17

    It always felt like The Black Paintings were one last sputtering remark of a dying old man. His pessimism surprises anyone who comes in contact, expecting a sweet, dumbed man. Instead, he expresses his dissatisfaction of the world and how his life was a first seat view on how it came to be that way. His wit and insight are made ragged by the exasperation of his age. Yet one walks out of a conversation again feeling like they've seen some hidden side of the world only seen by the glimmer of elderly wisdom and the words that spring from within it

    Thanks for this video! I listened to it at the Prado last week while looking at its magnificent collection of Goya paintings. Did the same with your video on Guernica while I was at the Reina Sofia. Both added an incredible amount to my appreciation of these works.
