Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Arts Society, Havering - GOYA: WAR AND PEACE, REVOLUTION AND EXILE
Goya’s long life and career spanned the reigns of four Spanish monarchs, and much social and political upheaval. Until his late forties his main work was designing subjects for the royal Tapestry works in Madrid, but by the 1790s he branched out into portrait painting, political satire, and experimental works. He was an energetic and restless genius whose painting reflected the turbulence of his age, and his work is still relevant today.
Historian, art historian, and painter, Gail Turner is passionate about Spain and Spanish topics.In the past she led tours to Spain for The Arts Society and Martin Randall Travel. Gail lectured in the Prado and Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid in the 1980s, and was Deputy Curator of Keats Shelley Memorial House, Rome, before that.
