Watched a documentary about Goya on an educational TV channel years ago.

Until he told his wife he was about to snap and needed to “vent the poison”. He stopped accepting painting orders, locked himself at home and began to frantically, obsessively paint the “black paintings”, one right after another, non-stop.
