This is a really good movie. It centers on the Spanish inquisition and Goya's part in it.

Amazing that we're only a little over 200 years away from that. Or...with Bush's program of torturing for confessions - are we really?

And Bush's actions are inexcusable, given how small the world has become 😛

Here is a cool link. Monet paintings from Knowledge News. I hope the link works and that you enjoy these. These make terrific desk tops. Alternate click and save as background I believe.

If you explore their website I think you will enjoy it.

I love the way he painted the aristocracy as hideously ugly and passed it off as a genuine portrait.

Granados wrote a piece dedicated to Goya:
