Summary "Goya, an account of his life and works" by Albert Frederick Calvert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the life of the influential Spanish painter Francisco Goya, detailing his contributions to art as well as the complex socio-political environment of Spain during his lifetime. The book is rich in context and analysis, shedding light on Goya's role amid various political upheavals and his artistic evolution throughout his career. The opening of the text provides an introduction to the historical significance of Spanish painting before Goya's time, reflecting on the impact of earlier masters like Velazquez and Murillo. It discusses the decline of Spanish art following Velazquez's achievements, setting the stage for Goya's emergence. The preface sets out to highlight Goya's revolutionary spirit and versatility as an artist, suggesting that his works were deeply informed by and responsive to the tumultuous events and societal changes around him. Calvert's exploration establishes Goya as not merely an artist but a keen observer of human nature and the political landscape of 18th-century Spain. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
