El juicio : La Inquisición contra Goya

$ 28.95
1799, Madrid. Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, court painter to the king, announces the sale of a luxurious book of prints entitled Los Caprichos (The Caprices). Although sales are a success, two weeks after its publication, Goya withdraws it from the market. During the following months, its scandalous contents begin to spread like wildfire. Why is Goya hiding his most personal work? What is he afraid of? It is then that the young Angélica Díez arrives in Madrid with her father to begin a new life. The capital has become a place of contrasts, where the Enlightenment ideas spreading throughout Europe converge with institutions like the Holy Inquisition, which refuses to die. To make a name for herself in Madrid society, Angélica approaches Goya and asks him for a portrait. However, the young woman is unaware that this will unite them in a dangerous plot involving the Inquisition, Los Caprichos, and a rumor that could destroy the master: it is said that Goya has painted a nude woman. While the Inquisition attempts to put the painter on trial as a final show of force to demonstrate its power, Angelica will discover something that Goya always knew… There is no weapon sharper than art to change history.
