Overview

F. Goya belongs to important painters of the turn of the 19th century. He painted most of the Spanish royal family members. In the years 1800-1801 he portraited the king Charles IV in the family circle. On the field the sister of king, a 56-year-old infanta Maria Josefa is seen among family members. A close look shows approximately 3.5 to 4 cm large black, pigmented, slightly infiltrated skin lesion with non-sharp notched upper and back edge on her right temporal region. Eye changes are also present: pericorneal injection and asymmetric non-circular pupils bilaterally and slight protrusion of the left eye. Authors analyze the described dermatologic and ophthalmologic clinical picture in the historical context and discuss the possible diagnosis of malignant melanoma.

Key words:
Francisco Goya – dermatology – ophthalmology – king Charles IV – Maria Josefa – malignant melanoma
