Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS CAN SAVE MONEY ON S/H COSTS BY SELECTING ECONOMY SHIPPING, WHICH IS DISC ONLY; NO ARTWORK, NO PLASTIC COVER! Through his talent and creative abilities, the painter Francisco de Goya has achieved prosperity and respect. Some of his clients belong to the most important houses in Madrid, so it is not surprising, that he eventually ends up being noticed by the king, Charles IV. Goya feels a passionate love for Duchess Alba, but, at the same time, just as passionately despises the decadent aristocrat in her. He believes in the rule of both the king and the Church and enjoys his position at the royal court. His colleague and friend Esteve points out to him the contradictions of his closed world and leads him to the simple peasants of his country. In a tavern in Madrid, he meets the singer Maria Rosario. She is eventually condemned by a court of the inquisition. Goya is deeply moved by the song the woman is forced to regurgitate at her trial, as proof of her guilt. The further he digs into how the people of his country live, which provides the motifs for his paintings, the greater his pain becomes for the conditions they have to live in.Der Maler Francisco de Goya kommt durch seine Begabung und seine schöpferische Kraft zu Ansehen und Wohlstand. Seine Auftraggeber stammen aus den bedeutendsten Häusern Madrids und so gelangt er allmählich an den Königshof Karls IV. In leidenschaftlicher Liebe fühlt er sich zu der Herzogin Alba hingezogen und hasst gleichzeitig die dekadente Aristokratin in ihr. Er glaubt an den König und die Kirche, genießt seine Stellung bei Hofe. Sein Mitarbeiter und Freund Esteve zeigt ihm die Widersprüchlichkeit dieser abgeschlossenen Welt und führt ihn zu den einfachen Leuten des Landes. In einer Madrider Taverne begegnet er der Sängerin Maria Rosario; später muss er miterleben, wie sie von der Inquisition verurteilt wird. Von dem Lied, das Maria als Beweis ihrer Schuld vortragen muss, ist er tief erschüttert. Je weiter er in das Leben des Volkes eindringt, daraus Motive für seine Kunst schöpft, desto größer wird seine innere Pein angesichts der Zustände im Land. In German with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 128 mins.
