Francisco Jose de Goya - Paintings
Francisco de Goya, whose work does not seem to belong to any era, was the most important Spanish painter and graphic artist around 1800.
Born on March 30, 1746 in Fuendetodos near Zaragoza.
Died on April 16, 1828 in Bordeaux.
Francisco de Goya, who came in touch with the late Baroque church painting through his education and training, did neither feel really attached to this style nor to the academic Classicism. The strengthening of the liberal-minded middle class and the Napoleonic War, were also reflected in Goya's political views and caused a sharp break in his paintings. Having been working as first painter at the Spanish royal court since 1795, Goya's attitude turned towards the liberal bourgeoisie. While formerly genre scenes dominated, then Francisco de Goya preferred topics showing the people in existentially threatening situations. In addition, his very intimate portraits are characterized by their relentless realism which in the case of the painting "The Naked Maya", provoked a conflict with the Inquisition.
