Goya's Ghosts

Hello Everyone.

 

Evelyn here,

 

with new review. I am great fan of historically based films and GOYA'S GHOSTS is the epic tale told by the Spanish painter Francisco Goya about the people within his circle of friends who the greatest influenced him and his art. Goya played by actor Stellan Skarsgard, tells us the tale a ill-fated romance, if you will, about a highly influential and cunning member of the Inquisition, Lorenzo, played by actor Javier Bardem, who falls hopelessly in love Goya's teenage muse, Alicia Ines, after she is falsely accused of heresy and sent to prison. As Goya paints and survives in a politically torn Spain at the end of the Spanish Inquisition and start of the invasion by Napoleon armies, we are captivated by his depictions the beauty of the Spanish royal court, its people, as well as his grim portrayals war’s brutality and life in the 1700s”.

 

Since Goya was one of the first artist I studies, this depictions of the famous painter will be a welcome treat to my own artist senses.
