The Naked Maja

Factual error: You can't expect a great deal of historical accuracy from a movie that narrates a love story, conveniently ignoring the glaring fact that one of the two lovers was DEAF. Nevertheless, here Francisco Jose de Goya paints for his lover, Duchess Maria, a 1797 painting, "The Black Duchess", only after he already painted "Charles IV of Spain and His Family", finished in 1801, and the St. Anthony of La Florida frescos, 1798.
