Abstract
AGUDELO RENDON, Pedro Antonio. The revolutionary doctrine. An interstice between the Century of Light and the chiaroscuro of revolution. Co-herencia [online]. 2008, vol.5, n.9, pp.81-94. ISSN 1794-5887.
The work of Goya like that of Carpentier shows the horrors of the war, in particular those taken place in the "Age of Elightenment". Both, the painter and the writer, present their pessimistic look of the revolutionary ideals. Carpentier uses in the epigraph of his book "Century of light" the titles of Goya's work "The disasters of the war" with which the author not only reinforces the idea that the narrator goes capturing little by little on the revolution, but also it facilitates, in the literary analysis, the relationship between painting and literature.
Keywords : Goya; war; horror; painting; French Revolution; Age of Enlightenment.
