Would something like this be what you're talking about? It's by Lena Karpinsky. Her stuff costs a good deal more than posters, but an original and nicely-done painting is always worth more in my opinion. You can always commission something, just like you would a guitar from a luthier.

I dunno...

I've personally thought practically everything I saw of Goya's work (in his "dark" period) in the Madrid Prado to be incredibly Flamenco somehow...

(Apparently, he used to frequent the low-life bars where there was music in this period.)

cheers,

Ron

I vote for this one:

http://jssgallery.org/paintings/Sketches/Study_for_El_Jaleo/Seated_Musicians1.html#Pic

I've always like it but didn't know until know that it's one of the artist's sketches prior to the painting that Esteban posted (El Jaleo). The image appears on the cover of a recording by El Falo.

Ron, have you seen the film "Goya en Burdeos"? Written and directed by Saura, with José Coronado and Paco Rabal as the young and old Goya, and Maribel Verdú as the Duquesa de Alba. Throughout the film, there are scenes of musicians playing pre-flamenco music (180 years ago) as conceived by Roque Baños, who is credited with the music for the film. I don't know anything about him, but I thought he did an excellent job, because it sounds something like an updated version of Gaspar Sanz's music. As I remember, nearly everything was based on flamenco rhythms (compás) and was played by real musicians on period instruments.

Interestingly, Sanz and Saura were both from Aragón and Luis Buñuel (see below) was born in the same town as Sanz.

Totally off topic, forgive me for going on about this, but another great Saura film is "Buñuel y la mesa del Rey Salomón," which is a totally surreal account of the director Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí and Federico García Lorca on a quest through the ancient tunnels under the city of Toledo. There's a scene in which Estrella Morente sings a loving tribute to García Lorca.

Dont forget he was completely deaf by this time Ron so I dont think the music was a major inspiration :)

However Goya did have a guitar made for him by Pages of Cadiz that he played earlier in Life. He was fond of the Jota Aragonaise apparently. I remeber reading some reference about him playing the jota on his "tiple"
