The life and times of Francisco de Goya served as the basis for this memorable 6-episode miniseries. Appropriately produced by TVE and filmed on historical location, it is a spectacle of interest not just for art lovers or Goya connoisseurs, but for anyone into well-crafted drama. Goya was a witness of the Napoleonic wars and of a nation in arms resisting the aggression with undismayed heart and soul. He was that ancient paradox of the artist: an extremely sensitive individual who also was a bullfighting aficionado. He was a womanizer in his own aesthetic and impassioned way; he was friends with kings and poets, and a victim of social and political prejudices. This series undoubtedly succeeds in honestly portraying him.

The screening of these series is in collaboration with the Cervantes Institute.
