Image for Robert Hughes on Goya: Crazy Like a GeniusNot currently available on BBC iPlayer

Duration: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Documentary in which the late art critic Robert Hughes travels across Spain in search of the reality beyond the mythology of Spanish painter Francisco Goya. Goya has long been Hughes's favourite artist but has become a particular obsession since a near-fatal car accident left Hughes living with nightmares of Goya's often dark and violent imagery.
