Models' Names- The Pretty Little Liars Cover Art

MONSTERS

readed Just a short book by Juan Antonio Gaya Nuño (1913-1976) , entitled "The Horrifying Story of the Skull of Goya" . The book was about Francisco Goya y Lucientes - one of the greatest spanish artists ever - who died in Bordeaux , France in 1828. His body lied nearly forgotten in the Bordeaux cemetery for years and then moved to Madrid . When the body was exhumed, the skull was missing. This book is the story of that skull, between enquiry and legend. After reading it I remembered what Goya expressed in one of his etchings : '' El sueño de la razón produce monstruos - (The sleep of reason brings forth monsters) '' (- capricho n° 43, done in 1797 -).
This illustration is the result.

I recently read a short book by Juan Antonio Gaya Nuño (1913-1976) , titled "The History of Skull Goya's horrifying." Francisco Goya y Lucientes , one of the greatest English artists of all time, died in Bordeaux, France, in 1828. His body was buried in the cemetery of the city for years and then moved, after many vicissitudes, in the church of San Antonio de la Florida in Madrid. Exhumed skeleton, however, it was discovered that the skull was missing. The book, as you can guess already from the title, gives an explanation for this mysterious theft, between historical inquiry and legend. After reading it I thought back to an idea expressed by one of his etchings in Goya: El sueño ''de la Razón produce monstruos - (The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters) '' (- Capricho n ° 43 , built in 1797 -).
The illustration above is the result.
