The Goya Painting No One Was Supposed To See

After being missing for 90 years, a Spanish family donated a painting to the Zaragoza Museum dating back to around 1801 by Francisco de Goya. What's most intriguing about this piece is that Goya never finished it. Experts analyzing the painting noted the technique and brushstrokes suggest it was executed without a preliminary drawing, likely hurriedly to capture the fleeting image before it escaped Goya's imagination. "Ghostly Vision," as it's now known, predates Goya's famous Black Paintings. In this video, we'll explore why Goya chose to paint this piece and what motivated his shift towards such dark subject matter. I'd love to hear your interpretation of this painting.
