Painting and Sculpture
List of works by Francisco Goya
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828) was a Spanish artist, now viewed as one of the leaders of the artistic movement Romanticism. He produced around 700 paintings, 280 prints, and several thousand drawings. Goya's early career as a painter in the court of Charles III is marked by portraits of the Spanish aristocracy and tapestry cartoons in a Rococo style. Continuing to produce official portraits and paintings for the courts of Charles IV and Ferdinand VII, Goya's middle period is also notable for print series that satirize the human condition and show the brutalities of war. Towards the end of his life, Goya created the enigmatic Black Paintings, applying oil paint directly onto the plaster walls of his house on the outskirts of Madrid.
