«Old Man Goya» is the biography of Francisco de Goya by Julia Blackburn, published by Vintage in paperback (256 pages, in English).
After the illness that left Francisco de Goya deaf in 1792, the painter continued creating for three and a half decades. Julia Blackburn combines biography, personal memoir and history to imagine that period: the artist's friendships and love affairs, the aristocracy of the Bourbon court and the horror of the Napoleonic war, bringing to life the characters that populate his paintings.
Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism in 2002, the book was originally published that year and this Vintage edition came out in 2003.
For readers interested in artist biographies, art history and books that combine personal memoir with historical chronicle.
Julia Blackburn is a British author of both fiction and non-fiction. She is the daughter of poet Thomas Blackburn and artist Rosalie de Meric.
