Summary

COI synopsis: At Burlington House - home of London’s Royal Academy of Arts - is the greatest exhibition ever presented of the works of the 18th century Spanish painter, Francesco Goya. His portraits reveal his great understanding of people from kings and duchesses, as seen in the famous La Maja Vestida, to humble knife grinders. And in a dramatic self-portrait, Goya reveals how well he understands himself.
