About the piece
Created in 1820 as a gift of gratitude, this celebrated work by Francisco Goya depicts the artist during a period of severe illness, being tended to by Dr. Arrieta. The painting is a powerful example of Goya's late style, characterized by dramatic lighting, expressive brushwork, and a deeply emotional, near-spiritual intensity that resonates with the 'Black Paintings' of his final years.
