"The story of the relationship between Francisco de Goya and the Duchess of Alba is shrouded in mystery and secrecy, and has captured the imaginations of authors since the middle of the 19th century." "But what do we know about this love affair, which continues to fascinate us today? Did it actually take place, or was it merely a rumor? What really happened? How is it documented? And what sort of woman was the Duchess of Alba, who, according to a romantic version of the story, nearly drove Goya out of his senses?" "Susann Waldmann investigates these and other events by examining various contemporary documents, letters from Goya to his friends, and numerous anecdotes, unfolding a sensational turn of events. A fascinating text accompanied by excellent reproductions of Goya's well known paintings and drawings."--BOOK JACKET
