A note to readers: this research does not present a full picture of the Black Paintings‘ subject matter. Robert Havard’s article, Goya’s House Revisited: Why a Deaf Man Painted His Walls Black, concentrates on the potential motivations for their creation instead of providing an in-depth analysis to what the paintings depict. For a thorough breakdown of each painting, I highly recommend viewing Blind Dweller’s video titled, “The Ominous Black Paintings of Francisco Goya.” Thank you.
