Goya - Visions of Flesh and Blood will look in depth at Goya’s eventful life spanning more than 80 years, exploring his artistic oeuvre and the latest in biographical research. Extensive location footage, from the beautiful countryside of Seville to the grand chapels and royal palaces of Madrid, traces the inspiration behind, and settings for, some of Goya’s best-loved works. The film also allows the audience to step inside the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, presenting a number of significant Goya holdings including ‘The Family of Carlos IV’, which further illuminate his relationship to Spanish high society. Rare access to Goya’s ‘Italian Notebook’, a sketchbook made in Italy between 1769-71, will connect viewers to Goya’s most intimate moments of reflection.
