Goya: The Miniseries

Arts, Biography Documentary with no narration published by TVE in 1985 - Spanish language



Information
------------------------------

The life and times of Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, the great Spanish painter, from his childhood in Fuendetodos, a small Aragonese town, until his final departure into exile in Bordeaux served as the base material for this memorable 6-episode miniseries.
Appropriately produced by TVE and filmed on historical location, it is a spectacle of interest not just for art lovers or Goya connoisseurs but for anyone into well-crafted drama.
A painter who begun himself a revolution of proportions, Goya was a witness of the Napoleonic wars and of a nation in arms resisting the aggression with undismayed heart and soul. He was that ancient paradox of the artist: an extremely sensitive individual who also was a bullfighting aficionado. He was a womanizer in his own aesthetic and impassioned way; he was friends with kings and poets, and a victim of social and political prejudices.
He was an exhaustively troubled man: deaf, neurotic, literally mad. Goya was no saint and his richly contrasted self is what makes him a great subject for a television series. Each of the six chapters of the series deals with a definite and singular stage in the painter's career and also with the society of his time.
Goya lived through a time of profound changes that had its two milestones in the French Revolution and in the Napoleonic wars. Goya knew the glory and lived closely the power of the Court, but he also knew fear, the interrogations of the Inquisition, jealousy and disappointment. This series is a honestly portrait of him and makes a valuable statement on the origins of his essential oeuvre.

Directed by Jose Ramon Larraz ; Toledo Productions, S.A. e and Isasi Producciones Cinematograficos, S.A. for TVE Television Espanola in Co-Production with Radio Television Italiana Rete 1

1)  The Greased Pole (La cucana)
The first episode covers Goya's childhood until his confrontation with the Cabildo del Pilar de Zaragoza ("The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar") on the occasion of the mural painting of the "Regina Martyrum" vault. The painter Francisco de Goya began his career in the Luzan and Bayeu workshops on his rise to the court of Madrid. It is a time of slow learning that includes Goya's trip to Italy, his failure in the nomination for awards of the Royal Academy of San Fernando, his first commissions and his activity in the creation of cartoons for tapestries. We also attend his first contact with the Court of Charles III.
