Professor and Collegiate Scholar, Luis Martín-Estudillo, has recently published two groundbreaking books entitled Goya and the Mystery of Reading in English and Goya o el misterio de la lectura in Spanish. The books explore the impact of the unprecedented growth of readers and texts available during the era of Spanish artist Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) on his artwork. Professor Martín-Estudillo's work reveals the historical, intellectual, and artistic underpinnings of reading as one of the pillars of Goya's art. The books shed light on the critical impact that the reading revolution had on the work of this remarkable artist, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in Goya's art, literature, and cultural history.
