Experts Spanish Prado believes that the famous painting "The Colossus", which sees the work as an outstanding artist of XVIII century by Francisco Jose de Goya-and-Lusentesa actually wrote his assistant.

Even last year, the museum announced that it no longer considered an original picture of Goya. But on Monday, January 26, a declaration was made chief curator Manuela Mena Marquez, according to which, the real author of this fabric - journeyman Asensio Julià.
In "The Colossus" depicts a giant, towering above the clouds hanging over the terror-stricken village. This work has always been one of the main attractions of the Prado.

The first doubts about its authenticity began in the early 1990's, and last year the museum had openly acknowledged that Goya was hardly the author of this track.
