Francisco Jos\u00e9 de Goya y Lucientes. Without any doubt, we all have heard this unique name before. For sure! Well, probably the shorter version of it: Francisco de Goya.
\nThe Spanish painter and printmaker, well-known for his diverse art works that span across beautiful paintings, drawings, etchings, and stunning frescoes such as The Parasol (1777)<\/em>, The Duke and Duchess of Osuna and their Children (1788)<\/em>, The Third of May (1808)<\/em>, Saturn Devouring His Son (1823)<\/em> and countless more,is described as the most influential artist of the late 18th and early 19th century who paved the way for a completely different view on art.<\/p>\n

Strikingly, his art pieces developed from cheerful and brightly coloured to profoundly pessimistic, searching, questioning and rather dark. Goya\u2019s masterpieces are not only utterly divine, but also depict society\u2019s bad grievances and highly criticise wartime\u2019s autocracies at that difficult time in history.<\/p>\n

Being the last of the Old Masters and also being considered as the pioneer of Modernism, Goya\u2019s immensely successful career made this incredibly talented artist unforgettable.
\nIn order to pay tribute to the artist\u2019s admirable talent, Goya – Visions of Flesh and Blood<\/strong>, a new feature-length film which is based on the successful exhibition\u00a0Goya: The Portraits\u00a0at the National Gallery<\/a> in London, explores \u201cthe dramatic life and extraordinary artistry of Francisco Goya\u201c and brings him back to life.
\nHigh-quality art paired with cosiness? Yes, that is possible thanks to Exhibition on Screen<\/a>.
\nThe concept created by Phil Grabsky<\/a> \u201cbrings blockbuster art exhibitions to over 1,000 cinemas in 40 countries\u201c. Combining both lively shots from Goya: The Portraits<\/a> itself and also footage from shootings of different locations in the UK, the United States and Spain which related to and had an impact on Goya, the documentary creates a comprehensive insight into the Spanish artist\u2019s creativity and enables the spectator to fully experience the fantastic world of Goya.<\/p>\n

Goya – Visions of Flesh and Blood<\/strong> is going to be released in cinemas nationwide on the 1st December 2015.
\nThe official trailer acts as a little teaser. Unqestionably, the trailer already shows what you can expect from this brilliant documentary. Unseen material such as Goya’s revealing letters\u00a0and some of his masterpieces that have not been included in the exhibition as well as personal statements from well-known Goya experts make this film even more exciting for true art lovers.<\/p>\n
