Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 200 works by Francisco Goya (1746–1828) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Goya's range is extraordinary — from elegant royal portraits to the brutal nightmare of the Black Paintings — and understanding him requires seeing that range in person. His late works have an expressionistic ferocity that reproduction tends to darken and flatten.
