Francisco Goya Biography

(b. March 30, 1746, Fuendetodos, Spain--d. April 16, 1828, Bordeaux, Fr.)
Full name: Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes

Francisco Goya was born on March 30, 1746, in Fuendetodos, a village in northern Spain. The family later moved to Saragossa, where his father worked as a gilder. At about 14 young he was apprenticed to Jose Luzan, a local artist. Later Goya went to Italy to continue his study of art. On returning to Saragossa in 1771, Francisco painted frescoes for the local cathedral.

These Goya paintings, done in the decorative rococo tradition, established his artistic reputation. In 1773 he married Josefa Bayeu, sister of Saragossa artist Francisco Bayeu. The couple had many children, but only one--a son, Xavier--survived to adulthood.

From 1775 to 1792 Francisco Goya painted cartoons (designs) for the royal tapestry factory in Madrid. This was the most important period in his artistic development. As a tapestry designer, he did his first genre paintings, or scenes from everyday life.

The experience helped him become a keen observer of human behavior. Goya was also influenced by neoclassicism, which was gaining favor over the rococo style. Finally, his study of the paintings of Velázquez in the royal collection resulted in a looser, more spontaneous painting technique. online Spain oil paintings for sale and Francisco Goya biography and La maja desnuda, The Third of May 1808, The Second of May 1808.

0 The Second of May 1808 Romantic modern Francisco Goya.

At the same time, Goya achieved his first popular success. He became established as a portrait artist to the Spanish aristocracy. Francisco Goya was elected to the Royal Academy of San Fernando in 1780, named artist to the king in 1786, and made a court artist in 1789.
A serious illness in 1792 left Goya permanently deaf. Isolated from others by his deafness, Francisco became increasingly occupied with the fantasies and inventions of his imagination and with critical and satirical observations of mankind. Francisco Goya evolved a bold, free new style close to caricature.

In 1799 he published the Caprichos, a series of etchings satirizing human folly and weakness. His portraits became penetrating characterizations, revealing their subjects as Francisco Goya saw them. In his religious frescoes he employed a broad, free style and an earthy realism unprecedented in religious art.

Goya served as director of painting at the Royal Academy from 1795 to 1797 and was appointed first Spanish court artist in 1799. During the Napoleonic invasion and the Spanish war of independence from 1808 to 1814, he served as court artist to the French. Francisco Goya expressed his horror of armed conflict in The Disasters of War, a series of starkly realistic etchings on the atrocities of war. They were not published until 1863, long after his death.

Upon the restoration of the Spanish monarchy, he was pardoned for serving the French, but Goya painting was not favored by the new king. Francisco was called before the Inquisition to explain his earlier portrait of The Naked Maja, one of the few girl bodys in Spanish art at that time.

In 1816 he published his etchings on bullfighting, called the Tauromaquia. From 1819 to 1824 Goya lived in seclusion in a house outside Madrid. Free from court restrictions, Francisco Goya adopted an increasingly personal style. In the Black Paintings, executed on the walls of his house, Goya gave expression to his darkest visions. A similar nightmarish quality haunts the satirical Disparates, a series of etchings also called Proverbios.

In 1824, after the failure of an attempt to restore liberal government, he went into voluntary exile in France. Francisco Goya settled in Bordeaux, continuing to work until his death there on April 16, 1828. Today many of best Goya paintings hang in Madrid's Prado art museum.
