Goya Attended by Doctor Arrieta 1820

Francisco Goya's "Goya Attended by Doctor Arrieta" is a powerful self-portrait depicting the artist in a moment of profound vulnerability. Painted in 1820, the work captures Goya's recovery from a serious illness. The artist, weakened and pale, is being cared for by his friend and doctor, Arrieta. The dramatic lighting and stark contrast of dark and light emphasize the intensity of the scene, highlighting the artist's dependence and the doctor's attentiveness.
