A stunning gallery of Goya's later works, this lavish volume presents prints from The Proverbs, La Tauromaquia, and The Bulls of Bordeaux. Its 78 etchings recapture the incomparable grandeur of Goya's art as well as the major themes of his works — the Bible, human folly, and the brutal pageantry of bullfighting.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Goya was an amazing Enlightenment artist.,
By Greg "Saganite" (Brooklyn Park, Mongolia) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Great Goya Etchings: The Proverbs, The Tauromaquia and The Bulls of Bordeaux (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
With pluck, wit, and a sense for the grotesque, Goya took on the fascists and theocons of Inquisition-era Spain in splended engravings that remind me of William Blake, if Blake were a ticked-off malcontent. There is nothing fancy about this book--the reproductions and paper quality are merely serviceable--but the artistry of Goya leaps off the page, and for me this is not the kind of artwork just to admire once through, but a series of images I go back to over and again, finding something new to smile about or nod at each time.
