The cause of this divergent creative power, judgingfrom Goya’s life, might be his diseases.

Many reasons are cited for this: crop failure, bad monsoons,mounting debts, and alcoholism. The government’s response has been to award 100,000 rupees compensation to the families offarmers who have taken their own lives, a policy which has been criticized for creating a perverse incentive to suicides ormurders.
