PAULA FAYOS-PÉREZ, researcher in Art History has examined in her PhD thesis (University of Camridge, 2019) the influence of Goya in 19th-century France, focusing on caricaturists such as Daumier and Grandville. It was recently published as a book:
“Goya’s Caprichos in Nineteenth-Century France. Politics of the Grotesque, 2024, CEEH”.
She has now created the GOYA NETWORK, an interactive, collaborative database that maps the connections surrounding the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya. As a ‘living’ database, it encourages collaboration and serves as both a research tool and a public resource, providing insight into the scope of Goya’s influence and the reception of his work in 19th-century painters, editors, writers and caricaturists, including Daumier.
We encourage our readers to have a look at this interesting database where, among other artists of the period, Daumier and Grandville were certainly influenced by the art of the Spanish painter.
