This text provides a new reading of Goya, concentrating on the
closing years of the 18th century as a neglected milestone in his
life. Goya waited until 1799 to publish his celebrated series of
drawings, the "Caprichos", which offered a personal vision of the
"world turned upside down". Victor Stoichita and Anna Coderch
consider how themes of "Revolution" and "Carnival" (both seen as
inversions of the established order) were obsessions in Spanish
culture in this period, and make provocative connections between
the close of the 1700s and the approaching of the Millennium. The
authors deal with almost unknown or neglected literary sources
concerning Goya's intellectual envirnoment. Particular emphasis is
placed on the artist's links to the underground tradition of the
grotesque, of the ugly and the violent. Goya's drawings, considered
as a personal and secret laboratory, are foregrounded in a study
that also reinterprets his paintings and engravings in the cultural
context of his time.
