Francisco de goya y Lucientes
b. March 30, 1746, Fuendetodos, Spain--d. April 16, 1828,
Goya is considered the 18th Century's foremost painter and etcher of Spanish culture, known for his realistic scenes of battles, bullfights and human corruption. Goya lived during a time of upheaval in Spain that included war with France, the Inquisition, the rule of Napoleon's brother, Joseph, as the King of Spain and, finally, the reign of the Spanish King Ferdinand VII. Experts proclaim these events -- and Goya's deafness as a result of an illness in 1793 -- as central to understanding Goya's work, which frequently depicts human misery in a satiric and sometimes nightmarish fashion. From the 1770s he was a royal court painter for Charles III and Charles IV, and when Bonaparte took the throne in 1809, Goya swore fealty to the new king. When the crown was restored to Spain's Ferdinand VII (1814), Goya, in spite of his earlier allegiance to the French king, was reinstated as royal painter. After 1824 he lived in self-imposed exile in Bordeaux until his death, reportedly because of political differences with Ferdinand. Over his long career he created hundreds of paintings, etchings, and lithographs, among them Maya Clothed and Maya Nude (1798-1800); Caprichos (1799-82); The Second of May 1808 and The Third of May 1808 (1814); Disasters of War (1810-20); and The Black Paintings (1820-23). |

What courage
1810-15 Etching and aquatint, 155 x 208 mm - This is Plate 7 from the series The Disasters of War (Los desastres de la guerra). Goya reacted to the struggle against the French with The Disasters of War, his second great cycle of etchings after Los Caprichos. It extends to over 80 plates, but includes only few acts of heroism, such as that of the young woman who fires the cannon after all the men are dead.

Out hunting for teeth
1797-98 Etching and aquatint, 218 x 151 mm - This is Plate 12 from the series Los Caprichos. The young woman, recoiling in fear at the sight of the hanged man, is nevertheless reaching greedily into his mouth for his teeth, which are precious ingredients for magic potions.

There was no remedy
1797-98 Etching and aquatint, 217 x 152 mm - This is Plate 24 from the series Los Caprichos. Those condemned by the Inquisition were publicly paraded wearing a distinctive conical hat signaling their disgrace.In 1807 a French traveller in valencia watched an alleged witch, "her upper body bared to the waist", being lead through every quarter of the town.

What more can one do
1812-15 Etching and aquatint, 158 x 208 mm - This is Plate 33 from the series The Disasters of War (Los desastres de la guerra). French soldiers castrate or kill a defenceless man. This is another scene that the artist, living in Madrid, probably did not see at first hand. Brutality and death fired his imagination.

Truth Has Died
1810-1814 Etching, 175 x 220 mm - This is Plate 79 from the series The Disasters of War (Los desastres de la guerra). In the concluding plates of the Disasters of War are shown the burial of a beautiful young woman, followed by her exhumation or resurrection . Captioned Murio la verdad (Truth has Died), the first shows her body radiant with light as she lies in her grave and a looming priest administers the last rites. In the companion print, Si reucitaria? (Will She Rise Again?), she is exposed, her radiance and beauty faded, her face aged. Still she emits a glow that seems all the greater for the depth of background shadow - and sufficient to throw the crowd of peering ghouls into a frenzy. Here, the parallel hatching of the first etched plate is replaced by radiant lines, inked more intensely as they spread away from the body.

As far back as his grandfather
1797-98 Aquatint, 215 x 150 mm - Goya caricatures the pride of the hidalgos. Some 500.000 of Spain's population of around 10 million considered themselves to belong to this lesser branch of the nobility. Since work was beneath their station, most of them were impoverished, their only possessions being a long line of ancestors.

The Bravery of Martincho in the Ring of Saragassa
1815-1816 Etching and aquatint, 245 x 355 mm - This is Plate 18 from the series Tauromaquia. While working on The Disasters of War, Goya also etched 33 plates, which he offered for sale under the title of Tauromaquia (The Art of Bullfighting). Here he depicts a famous torero, seated on a chair and with his feet tied, preparing to deliver the bull a fatal thrust. A moment of extreme tension, which Goya makes palpable by abandoning the traditional rules of perspective.

Unfortunate Events in the Front Seats of the Ring of Madrid
245 x 355 mm - This is Plate 21 from the series Tauromaquia. A bull has leapt over the barrier and killed and injured a number of spectators. Goya leaves the left half of the picture empty, infringing the rules of compositional harmony. A number of spectators are nevertheless flinging themselves from right to left: out of the static balance, Goya develops a dynamic one.

The Colossus
1810-18 Mezzotint engraving, 285 x 210 mm - This engraving by Goya (Goya's only mezzotint engraving) was formerly described (by his grandson) as a 'giant'. It shows a figure seated on a hill beneath a crescent moon, a meditative, passive counterpart to the threatening Colossus of the painting in the Prado.

Feminine Folly

Some of the subjects of the tapestry cartoons described as 'the pleasures of the nursery' enjoyed by grown-ups were to be transformed in Goya's late lithographs into dark, grotesque parodies.

Spanish Entertainment
1825 Lithograph, 300 x 410 mm Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid This litograph is one of the four in the series The Bulls of Bordeaux. As in his early paintings, and unlike in his Tauromaquia, Goya takes a step back from the events in the ring. His focus now falls not on the battle to the death that had earlier fascinated him and inspired him to new compositional solutions, but on the bullfight as popular entertainment. Perhaps the emigr?was also inspired by reminiscences of life in Spain. Author: GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de Title: Spanish Entertainment Form: graphics , 1801-1850 , Spanish , other
