Le roman de Goya

Hughes delves into Goya's life beyond his artworks, but I'm curious what drove him to emphasize his emotional and physical battles. Did this shape how the biography was structured?

The way Hughes connected Goya’s life events to his art added depth I hadn’t appreciated before. Did the book change how others view Goya's works?

Goya was known for both his revolutionary art and his personal flaws. I wonder what guided Hughes in choosing which stories and traits to emphasize.
