Goya (y Lucientes), Francisco (José) de
(b. March 30, 1746, Fuendetodos, Spain--d. April 16, 1828, Bordeaux,
Fr.),
Consummately Spanish painter whose multifarious paintings, drawings,
and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and
influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters. Like Velázquez,
Goya was a Spanish court painter whose best work was done apart from his
official duties. He is known for his scenes of violence, especially
those prompted by the French invasion of Spain. The series of etchings
Los desastres de la guerra ("The Disasters of War", 1810-14) records the
horrors of the Napoleonic invasion. His masterpieces in painting include
The Naked Maja and The Clothed Maja (c. 1800-05). He also painted
charming portraits such as Senora Sabasa Garcia.
In 1824, after the failure of an attempt to restore liberal government,
Goya went into voluntary exile in France. He settled in Bordeaux,
continuing to work until his death there on April 16, 1828. Today many
of his best paintings La maja desnuda, The Third of May 1808 hang in Madrid's Prado art museum.
