Art

Today's Get Fuzzy comic strip reminded me that for a long time I've felt a bit troubled by the art of Francisco Goya.

On one hand he could create some really great portraits like this and scenes like this.

On the other hand he could use myth and his own nation's history to create paintings with nightmarish qualities like this and this. And perhaps it is something in his style that makes it more real to the senses than something like Hieronymus Bosch.
