Goya: The Portraits, National Gallery

Francisco da Goya was a portraitist who captured the likeness of a wide range of sitters, from friends to royalty, broke traditional boundaries of technique and offered unconventional portrait types which convey personality and pyschological insight.
The theme of the National Gallery exhibition is Goya's reappraisal as a portraitist and 70 works, many never seen before in London, are on display. His career is traced from the court of Charles III in Madrid, his appointment as Court Painter to Charles IV, working for Joseph Bonaparte and his final years in France.
