«Capricho» is the historical novel by Almudena de Arteaga, published by Editorial Planeta in hardback (400 pages, in Spanish).
The novel evokes Spain at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th. Goya is swept along by the whims of three of his muses: the Countess-Duchess of Benavente, the Duchess of Alba and the Countess of Chinchón. The plot moves through convents, theatres, squares and palaces of a complacent society approaching the Napoleonic invasion.

For readers of historical fiction and for those interested in the figure of Goya and the Spanish aristocracy of his time.
