Goya. The Complete Prints

Francisco de Goya was more than a painter; he is widely regarded as the conscience of modern art. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, he documented a Spain shaken by war, repression, superstition, and shifting power structures with extraordinary observation and fearless expression. This volume brings together Goya’s complete printed oeuvre of 287 etchings and lithographs for the first time in a single comprehensive collection.

Shaped by Enlightenment thought and appointed court painter to Charles IV, Goya engraved the tension between reason and madness, justice and cruelty, hope and despair onto copper plates. From the satirical criticism of Los Caprichos and the unflinching horrors of war in The Disasters of War, to the energy of bullfighting in Tauromaquia and the nightmarish imagery of Los Disparates, these works reveal not only Spanish society of the period, but also the universal darkness of human nature.

This monumental collection presents editions printed under Goya’s direct supervision alongside rare trial proofs from unpublished series, revealing the artist’s precision and experimental approach to printmaking. Detailed commentary accompanying each image, together with comprehensive texts by art historians José Manuel Matilla and Anna Reuter, makes this volume a culmination of more than two centuries of scholarship.

Goya does not merely depict the world; he dissects it. This book is a powerful visual account of the limits of human reason, the destructive force of power, and art’s capacity to bear witness. It is an essential collectable work for those interested in art history, printmaking, and critical thought.
