William Buchan author of ‘Domestic Medicine’ died #OTD in 1805. His book was a guide for the lay public to treat themselves at home. Although it did include the tip to avoid bathing, because human perspiration inhibited germs and gave you a ‘healthy glow’ https://t.co/6EXaJz1vDO

His two portraits of Zarate show his fascination with the actress. The aloof & sophisticated 1805 work is an essay in subtle colours. Doña Antonia Zárate (1805 & 1810-11), Water Carrier (1810-12) & Doña Narcisa Baranana de Goicoechea (1810)
Goya had a complete breakdown both physically & mentally. The Caprichos are a response to the violence of the times as well as the assault on his mind & body. Miserol (1804-6), Teresa Sureda (1804-6), Francisca Sabasa y Garcia (1804-8) & Doña Isabel de Porcel (c1805)
Man's best friend: Charles Gough, died in a fall on Helvellyn, in 1805. He was accompanied by his dog Foxie, who stayed by his side for three months until his body was discovered.
