Spoilers ahead
In the tumultuous year of 1792, Spain is gripped by the turbulence of the French Revolution. Francisco Goya, a celebrated painter, is tasked with capturing the likenesses of Spain’s elite as the Official Court Painter. Yet, his artistry becomes a point of contention for the Spanish Inquisition, which takes issue with some of Goya’s provocative works.
When Brother Lorenzo Casamares, portrayed by Stellan Skarsgård, comes to Goya’s defense, he later enlists him to paint his portrait. Lorenzo argues that Goya’s art is not malicious but merely reflects the darker aspects of humanity. He urges the Church to combat anti-Catholic sentiments more aggressively and is granted authority to intensify the Inquisition’s activities.
