*Francisco de Goya : Art as Testimony, the Artist as Witness*  
Felipe Pereda  
Thursday 3-5:45pm  
Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) signals the beginning of a new understanding of the power of art as a historical testimony. Sometimes considered the “patriarch of war photographers” Goya gave a new image of war in which anonymous victims take over the protagonism traditionally held by national heroes. This course will be a general introduction to Goya’s art, from the popular imagery of his early years to his late Black Paintings, but it will also look into Goya’s “modernity” from the standpoint of art´s reflection of contemporary history.
