Short video clips on the pictorial career of Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes. On the occasion of the bicentenary of the Prado Museum, the digital area of RNE rescues the programmes of Documentos de RNE dedicated to the museum. The modern look of Goya, one of the keys to the History of Art in Spain, is part of this collection. Born in Fuendetodos on 30 March 1746 and died in Bordeaux on 16 April 1828, the programme highlights the merits of the painter, who is considered one of the most important artists in the history of art of all time. Between the 18th and 19th centuries, through the different phases of his painting, his work reflects the complex process of evolution of the crisis of the Ancien Régime. However, the documentary argues that he cannot be considered either an 18th or 19th century painter, but a contemporary painter in his own right, speaking to us of the essence of the human being. The tension between his pessimistic and optimistic view of life in his works is alluded to. However, emphasis is placed on his character as a forerunner of later trends in art such as Impressionism, Expressionism and Surrealism
