In 1792, when he was forty-seven, the Spanish painter, Francisco de Goya contracted a serious illness which left him stone deaf. The author follows Goya through the remaining thirty-five years of his life. He writes of the elderly painter with the intimacy of an old friend, seeing through his eyes and sharing the silence in his head.
