Francisco de Goya
[Spanish Rococo Era/Romantic Painter and Printmaker, 1746-1828]

• Also known as:  Francisco de Goya y Lucientes
• Relationships: Assistant to Mengs, Anton Raphael.
• Browse all:  Spanish artists  /  printmakers


Francisco de Goya is one of the great Spanish masters, known for such works as Nude Maja/Clothed Maja and Third of May, 1808.

The student, and later brother-in-law, of Francisco Bayeu, Goya was initially trained in the then-current Rococo style. He gradually developed his own distinctive style of painting, showing the influence of Velázquez and Rembrandt.

Goya's late works became quite dark in mood, from his satirical caricatures to the so-called Black Paintings such as Saturn Devouring One of his Sons.
