In this full-length film, I look at Francisco Goya's later works. At the age of 46, Goya suffered from a severe illness that caused loss of vision and hearing, tinnitus, dizziness, right-sides paralysis, weakness and general malaise. Although he recovered from a cerebral stroke which accompanied it, he went completely deaf. From this point on his work took a darker tone.
To understand Francisco Goya's Black Paintings, we need to understand how he went from a popular well-loved royal portrait artist to painting deeply disturbing imagery on the bare walls of his house in total isolation.
His darker work was never really seen in his lifetime. His series of etchings known as Los Caprichos was withdrawn from public sale for fear of attack by the Inquisition, and his deeply pessimistic 'Disasters of War' was so gruesome and radical it had to wait until his death to be published. Even his masterpiece, The Third of May 1808, was censored by the king and hidden away.
His wife and most of his friends were dead and he had become isolated. He was 73-years old, sick, and completely deaf. His long life was coming to a close… BUT he wasn’t finished yet. The man who had once painted crucifixions, miracles, saints, and priests, now painted terrifying, demonic, raw and brutal works - works without even a hint of God.
His last years were spent in isolation secretly creating some of the most horrific images in Western art, The Black Paintings.
Using footage from my earlier short films, Goya Part 1 and Goya Part 2, I have added about 25 minutes of new footage to make this full-length film.

Dark Goya (Full length): The later Works 2103pm 13.1.23 i doubt the images are seriously horrendous... works without a hint of goya? probably painted by that other wild man blake, then... who had claimed to have invented such a printing process.
Amazing
Your work and insight is a pleasure to view. You have my deepest gratitude for the dedication and time you give so freely to us, and want to thank you for sharing your gifts...we don't deserve it, but I do appreciate it!
This is the least we can do for you
Great episode!
This doc is a work of art for itself....
Thank you 🙏
Yes. It really is. For me, at least.
Wow. What an amazing documentary!
Yes so many times that I was like OK I’ll watch it later I couldn’t pull myself away
I totally agree with you.
What we get from Goya is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. 200 years later and humanity still hasn't evolved. Shame on us.
you know the video is good when it's largely stuff you've already seen, but you are still enraptured by it. Goya was a magnificent artist, and you are magnificent for providing a gateway to his work for a wide audience. Wonderful work!
Thank you so much 🙏
Goya - one of the few artists who get a content warning at the start of the video
The picture with the drowning dog is officially one of the saddest paintings I have ever seen.
It is
This channel single handedly got me interested in art. Your breakdowns help me understand just how amazing these works of art really are. I hope to visit a museum soon to see some of the greats in person. Pretty sure I’ve watched all your videos and enjoy every single one. Thank for all you do!
Glad to hear it!
I watch these videos with my kids. Goya is my 10 year old daughter's favorite artist. She is very intrigued by the dark art he created.
This is great! I was in Madrid recently and saw the Black Paintings and Goya's other works at the Prado Museum. Seeing these works in real life affected me unexpectedly as I never realized just how rare it is to see paintings with dark themes and palettes. I was also surprised at how big or small some of the pieces were and just going into the room where the works were kept was lit with low and moody lighting. Before my trip to Spain, I had little idea of how much of my art knowledge was surrounded by Spanish Art (Goya, El Greco, Picasso, etc). I realized that now that I am older, I can empathize with these works with complex themes even more so now than when I first saw them on a printed art book. Thank you for this video, James. Just know that your hard work is greatly appreciated.
Thanks 🙏
bf and i recently found this channel and we simply can’t thank you enough for the work you put into this! you’ve really jump started our love for older darker works of art!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks 🙏
I like how you also mentioned your boyfriend haha
I've been aware of Goya my whole adult life. I was never that enraptured with him. Now I see him in a whole new light and just how my modern life preferences blinded me to this "The last of the old masters and first of the moderns" artist for the ages. I didn't want this video to end. It added a new chapter to my appreciation for art and I'm grateful.
Thank you 🙏
Such a well made video. Beautiful work.
my brudda nice to meet you here! congratulations on your collaboration with Shein
Thank you 🙏
Can't tell you how much I've learned about the history of paintings from this channel. Thank you sir!
You are very welcome
Don't think I've ever been so fascinated by an explanation of printing techniques. All the videos on this channel are just mesmerizing to me, and have really broadened my appreciation for these artists and works. Thank you!
Great to hear!
This is a fantastic conclusion to the Goya deep dive. You have me convinced there was no insanity - it just looked like it because the rest of the world was so insane and he was clear sighted.
It was interesting to note that in the Third of May 1808 painting the colors of the focal character and the lamp mirrored each other. Another way he subverted the martyr image.
When I saw Goya's paintings at the Prado, the one that struck me the most was, like you, the drowning dog. Thank you for this magnificent documentary! (And for all the others as well, of course!).
Thanks for the lovely comment 🙏
When I was young I used to eagerly anticipate every episode of Kenneth Clark's tv episodes on art and of coarse his famous BBC series "Civilization". Your channel is carrying on the high standards that parallel Clark's presentations and we the viewers are all the better for it. Thank you.
That’s such a huge compliment! thank you 🙏
I loved those also! Still do. But this channel is a serious addition. So grateful!
Its rare that a youtube channel changes my answer to the question "Do you like X", but from someone who knew 0 about art, you really have inspired a love in the subject from me and many others. Thanks again.
Truly, Goya was doing vent art before it was cool.
I have seen many documentaries about Goya, since I was always fascinated by his work - but this the very best I ever have seen! Thank you for this work of art! Your ability to feel Goyas feeling!
Wow, thank you!
I gotta say, man, you've exposed me to a new way to appreciate art. I always had a hard time "getting" art that seemed both obscure surrealism or hyper realistic. But because of how you explain these artworks, I can see that there's almost always something there that actually means something and isn't superficial.
Goya is one of my favorites, and I enjoy these long form analyses of his life and painting. Many thanks.
My pleasure!
Your videos are extremely useful to anyone who enjoys and wants to learn about this visual art. I've discorvered the works of Francisco Goya because of your two other videos about him.
And I was mesmerized by his work: : "Los Caprichos", "The Third of May 1808", "The Disasters of War", and "The Black Paintings". I don't know much about art, other than the things we learn in school: "Da Vinci is the the greatest painter eho has ever lived - just look at the Mona Lisa"; "Michelangelo was the artist who painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling".
And because of your videos, I've learnt about artists such as: Edward Hopper, Francisco Goya, Basquiat, Hieronymus Bosch, Botticelli, Caravaggio.
And in this craving to learn more about art I'm currently reading "The Story of Art" by E. H. Gombrich. Thank you very much for your content, which provides, in a really appealing way, the necessary knowlegde to understand and to be curious about art.
Love that book - it’s my “bible” - thanks for watching 🙏
Your first video inspired me to go see his black paintings in Spain. I leave next month. This is perfect timing. Thank you
What a fabulous documentary - connecting the history, context, and motivations of the artists all in one go, while being able to understand the paintings. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your section on the the dog painting moved me to tears with your summary. You are a masterful orator and narrator, what you have achieved with this video is utterly incredible and inspiring. Thank you for your continued hard work.
quality of your videos is unparalleled. fantastic deep dive. thank you for your work.
Much appreciated!
It always felt like The Black Paintings were one last sputtering remark of a dying old man. His pessimism surprises anyone who comes in contact, expecting a sweet, dumbed man. Instead, he expresses his dissatisfaction of the world and how his life was a first seat view on how it came to be that way. His wit and insight are made ragged by the exasperation of his age. Yet one walks out of a conversation again feeling like they've seen some hidden side of the world only seen by the glimmer of elderly wisdom and the words that spring from within it
I really like how you are able to bring the stories behind these paintings to live. Makes them even more impressing and immersive (or in this case devouring).
This level of continuity and academic excellence is a gift
I really got into art because of you, thank you! Your break down of the garden of earthly delights is forever etched into my very being
That makes me very happy - thanks for the comment 🙏
James, this video gave me chills down my spin especially when you were explaining the picture of the drowning dog.
James Payne is the David Attenborough of paintings
I'm sad by noticing the same issues from more than 200 years ago are still the same. Ignorance, dirty people, etc. Today I found a sofa by the beautiful lake I walk around everyday. Packages of snacks, plastic, but a damn sofa? Today is a day of hopelessness. So be it.
Thanks for the wonderful work you put in your videos to make us think and admire.
Fantastic documentary. The best art channel on youtube.
This was amazing. I’ve always been fascinated by Goya’s last works but I didn’t know the intense history behind them. Fantastic video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have watched lots of these. They make a lot of paintings make sense.
I love this channel! I've never been to an art gallery or museum before, so these videos bring the experience and closeness to art that everyone should have. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
hell yeah! been wanting this since you’ve mentioned goya’s works across multiple videos 🤩
Hope you like it!
I had to slow the playback speed to 0.75 to fully appreciate the descriptions and works, but I have to say, done with the integrity it deserves. I find myself loving and appreciating Goya's final master works more and more. I so wish he would've have given these works fearless titles. We are indeed lucky they survived. Thank you for this wonderful presentation. Bravo!!
A video worth the long waiting! I was so impressed by the scope and the depth of your analysis of Goya’s Black Paintings👍👍👏👏
I love your work. It's a really good day when I find a new video from you in my subscriptions. Thanks for reuploading this video.
Glad you enjoy it!
Goya is one of my favorite painters! Great job!
Mine too!
Thank you for the long version. I love Goya's late works. Your content is very educational and entertaining.
Thank you very much!
I live in a city with a contemporary art museum, the Albright-Knox, and was lucky enough to grow up during a time when field trips for public schools were still funded to see art, hear the local philharmonic orchestra and see plays. But I have never received as thorough an education in art as I have received from viewing this channel. I saw a lot of abstract expressionism and pop art but never believed I had a foot in the door to understanding it. I heard "It means whatever it means to you." alot. Not very helpful as a ten year old looking at Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. I mean, come on. Your videos have have been exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching and the nice comment 🙏
While I was at Prado, the painting involving the thread of life gave me chills and nearly brought me to tears when I thought about your connotation.
Thank you so much! This was really illuminating. I have seen the painting of Goya with his doctor many times at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
I love this channel. One of the only ones I will re watch over and over. It helps drill the information deeper into my thick head. Thank you, please keep going.
Thank you for helping me appreciate art. I know love going to all kinds of art museums directly because of your influence.
Outstanding work as always.
Congratulations.
Been there, seen that. I was staring at "The drowning dog" for about two hours, or so. The most impressive painting I've ever seen. Tears in my eyes...
Love your channel. I’ve discovered it just few day ago and cant stop watching your videos. They are somewhat art too ❤ i plan a trip to paris and with your help am getting ready and educated enough for Louvre. Thank you for your effort and time ❤️
Awesome! Thank you 🙏
One of the most interesting artists of all time.
I can't explain how amazing this video shows. So powerful and so cruel because all the truth is the humanity itself. Thanks for the astonishing video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another fantastic video!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m fortunate enough to live in Spain and get to see some of the works mentioned in the video in person, but never have I truly understood them until this video. Can’t wait to go back with a new set of eyes. I can’t thank you enough
You are one of the only reasons why i still go on TH-cam. You work is so so professional and i always makes me want to greate and learn more about art. Thank you so much. I hope you will keep on for a long time.
Now i really want to travel the world to see all the big paitings
Absolutely amazing I love learning having conversation and listening to conversation about art
Honestly it's a blessing that TH-cam recommended this chennal to me and thank you for you hard work @Great Art Explained
1 billion thank you for all your videos. The work you do is priceless and amazing
I've always wanted longer versions of your videos, this is the best birthday present ever!!! Thank-you so much for releasing this amazing work! Keep up with the good work👏😊
Happy birthday!
An excellent discussion on some of the most striking and fascinating paintings of all time
You're videos are like the best Art Appreciation class ever.
I always liked them before, but then I enrolled back in college and took an Art Appreciation class.
Our professor used your video on Basquiat in our class, and that's when I knew that your channel was really something special.
These deep dives are freaking amazing. You're the best.
I love your longer videos it’s a wonderful documentation of the artist’s work and gives it the time it deserves!
I always loved creepy works like these. Thanks for introducing me to Goya.
Fascinating as always James. I've long since dropped out of art school. Unfortunately not only did I fail to obtain that sweet degree, sadly I haven't retained much from that time. Though not all is black. Nimbly out maneuvering my ignorance, Goya's work did the tough job of a lasting impression and has won my great admiration. Thank you for producing these great educational epics. Not all heroes paint canvas
i wish I could use the “Thanks” button for more, an art history lesson while in the bath is worth exponentially more than I can afford. I especially appreciate your research into “works influenced by”. My Spanish 4 was several decades ago, it didn’t cover the Velasquez influence on Goya. (No disrespect, Señora Cope, it’s possible I forgot.)
Genuinely curious about your thought. was he prudish, really? 36:27, what about La Maja Desnuda? Wasn’t that before the death of his wife and during Ferdinand 7’s reign?
That’s a really great point - I was going to discuss but couldn’t face getting yet another strike from TH-cam by showing pubic hair. I think the difference is that Maja Desnuda was never meant to be a public painting as it was created for Manuel de Godoy, to hang in his secret private collection in a separate cabinet reserved for nude paintings. Goya was mortified when Godoy revealed his name to the inquisition who investigated his collection. I guess I should have said “prude when it came to his public work”. Thanks for the question.
Wonderful explanation of another great artist, his life and struggle living through oppression and tyrrany.
This is so enlightening and engaging - I look forward to every episode and this may be my favourite so far
I am really glad to have met this channel today, this is a great documentary!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i’ve watched this documentary more than once, and the audio transition for goya’s deafness always gives me chills. this is one of my favorite art documentaries. thanks for making this man!!!
Thanks 🙏 I spent a while getting that right - appreciate the comment!
Francisco de Goya is the person that made me relized art can be brutal, horror and does not need to demonstrate a sense a beauty. Los caprichos evokes all these emotions that most contemporaries did not dare depict.
Wow! Just wow! An hour has passed by, but complete unbeknownst to me. Fantastic work, as usual. Made me want to go to Spain immediately to check the originals.
A work of immense effort and affection. Phenomenal job sir
You know what I've realized watching these videos? Art is inextricably linked with history. You cannot learn about art without gaining a deeper understanding of human nature and the ebb and flows of all society. What a great way to learn about life. Bravo. Thanks for your dedication and interaction.
So captivating and so, so well done. By you, Mr. Payne, and by Goya. Thank you very much. I´ve seen all of those paintings many times and still... I had to hold my tears several times.
Just wow, amazing coverage… seeing it one time is just not enough
Thank you very much
Thank you for this. Another great video. You've really enhanced my enjoyment of art
Great and instructive video. I witnessed the Black paitings at the Prado last September; this video rounds up the great experience!
Thanks for watching
Another artist that I will admire in the future and look forward to his art in Madrid!
This channel is extremely valuable for anyone interested in understanding art!
Thanks for this video! I listened to it at the Prado last week while looking at its magnificent collection of Goya paintings. Did the same with your video on Guernica while I was at the Reina Sofia. Both added an incredible amount to my appreciation of these works.
Thank you so much, James, for creating this channel and sharing your knowledge with us
Quote This doc is a work of art for itself....unquote- I totally agree, this was a fantastic story told with passion and knowledge.
An amazing video thank you James. Haven't enjoyed TH-cam video so much in ages.
13:18
Please note that these owls are not to be confused with "mochuelos" (Athene noctua), that usually are associated with Athenea, wisdom and reason.
Goya needs these owls to have little horns in the head, to transfigure them into bats in the background.
Effing genious. 🎩 respect
so grateful for this upload
Thanks for watching!
ABSOLUTELY amazing documentary! Thank you so much for making this!
Can’t say enough thanks for this documentary, the amount of time, information, time, care and love you invested it is priceless. Thank you very much!
Wow, what can I say. Thank you, thank you. This was a masterful, insightful, presentation/interpretation of Goya's final years in art.
I feel like I have been taken on a journey. Thank you so much for this wonderful content.
Im glad you could publis this. Amazing work btw. Keep it up
I had to re-edit it and make a couple of cuts but I think it works - thanks for watching!
It's always a happy day when I see this channel has uploaded a video. Goya is a fascinating artist who produced thought provoking and unsettling works that have always stuck with me. Thank you for another wonderful and informative video!
thanks for the video, looking forward to more coming along. Hope everything works out for you
Thanks 👍
Thank you for explaining those wonderful printing techniques!
Thank you for another brilliant video. Beautifully worded and well-edited as always.
Goya’s works are so visceral. The blood and anguish practically drip off of them. I’m amazed at how he was able to create such depth and specificity of emotion with so few strokes in his later paintings. I agree, it truly takes a master to do that.
Well I didn't know I liked paintings until I found your channel
Happy to hear that!
Wow, I have no words, only tears
Thank you for your work, it helps me drastically to understand art mode deeply
Admirable work. So helpful to many people. Thank you.
Thanks for all the hard work that goes into compiling these wonderful films. Honestly, I didn’t really know anything about art save a few famous paintings that everyone’s heard of. Surprisingly, this medium is delightful and you’ve really helped me to appreciate it in a real way.
You are a treasure to my art education and journey, thank you so very much for your hard work.
This is an envitably one of the best on Goya's work I have even seen.
With great appreciation and respect for your presentation.
I enjoyed watching your video very much. Thank you for your efforts!
Thanks 🙏
