ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE GREAT NOVEL OF THE INQUISITION AGAINST GOYA.

Luis Zueco takes us on a journey through one of the most unknown and fascinating episodes in the life of the universal painter, revealing that art can be the most dangerous weapon.

CAN A PAINTER JUDGE THE WORLD? CAN THE WORLD JUDGE A GENIUS?

1799, Madrid. Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, court painter to the king, announces the sale of a luxurious book of prints entitled Los Caprichos. Although sales are a success, two weeks after its publication, Goya withdraws it from the market. Over the following months, its scandalous content begins to spread like wildfire. Why does Goya hide his most personal work? What is he afraid of?

It is then that the young Ang lica D ez arrives in Madrid with her father to start a new life. The capital has become a place of contrasts, where the enlightened ideas spreading throughout Europe converge with institutions such as the Holy Inquisition, which refuses to die.

To make herself known in Madrid society, Ang lica goes to Goya and asks him for a portrait. However, the young woman is unaware that this will bring them together 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, Ang lica discovers something that Goya always knew... There is no weapon sharper than art to change history.
