"Une étude approfondie mais accessible à tout amateur d`art qui découvre ou redécouvre l`entièreté des thèmes chers au peintre. Une incitation à la découverte réussie pour ceux qui voyageront par l`intermédiaire de Goya ou qui se serviront de cet opus lors d`un séjour à Madrid où un passage par le musée del Prado est inévitable. (...) Rose-Marie et Reiner Hagen ont retracé l`entièreté de l`histoire de Goya avec un ouvrage contenant une centaine d`illustrations et pesant seulement trois cents quatre deux grammes. Pourquoi se priver d`un tel bonheur?
