ABSTRACT

This is a brief analysis of the different diseases the Spanish painter Goya suffered, particularly the one that caused his deafness. We also discussed the probable relationship the artist had with his physicians throughout his life, and how this relationship is portrayed in four of his works, with such variety of feelings that go from indifference, satire and mockery to gratefulness and full recognition to the medical profession. This last point is exemplified in a selfportrait of the sick artist being assisted by Dr. Eugenio Garcia Arrieta which was his personal doctor during that time. This work is considered a representation of an adequate patient-physician relationship.
