Dali THE FACE OF WAR The Catalan painter takes a pictorial expression similar to that of Goya
unveiled the eerie mystery of why the corpse is missing skull of Goya.
Goya died April 15, 1828 in Bordeaux where he had taken refuge four years in voluntary exile because she could not bear the brutal tyranny of Ferdinand VII. the painter is buried in the Chartreuse Muguiro in the modest family tomb, his old friends. As his fame grew throughout the world, the governments of Spain unfortunate for most of the nineteenth century did not bother to translate his remains home, until in 1880 he was appointed consul in Bordeaux Don Joaquin Pereyra, who was outraged to find the tomb of the great genius in total abandonment and begins a long battle to return to Spain with the honors due. In 1888 the completion of a monumental tomb in the Sacramental de San Isidro in Madrid where it should be buried along with other great artists. At the time dell'esumazione is discovered with horror that the body is mutilated. Competent authorities shall establish that he was beheaded before burial because "his head, as is known, was entrusted to a doctor for a scientific study." The statement comes out for the first time and it is not documented. The vicissitudes of the remains of Goya is not over and assume grotesque characters: the English government does not want France to pay the modest sum for its exhumation. Only in 1900 was placed in the Sacramental in Madrid, before being finally transferred in 1919 into "his" church of San Antonio de la Florida where he finally has peace. In 1928, the key to the mystery. A scholar finds it in an antique shop in Zaragoza a painting of Goya's skull, poor painter and signed by a label signed by Marquis de San Adrian. Eccentric character fond of phrenology, a para-science that the characteristics of an individual diagnosed according to the protuberances of the skull, it was he who commissioned the desecration of the corpse.
