As a painter in the court of King Carlos IV of Spain, Goya (played by Donatas Banionis) has attained wealth and reputation. He believes in king and Church, but he is also a Spaniard who dearly loves his people—a contradiction that presents a deep dilemma. This film is based on Lion Feuchtwanger’s novel Goya.

In German with English subtitles

In conjunction with the exhibition I Saw It: Francisco de Goya, Printmaker, filmmaker and educator Joe Petricca has selected four films that bear witness to Goya’s visions of the world. Each film begins with an introduction by Petricca.
