Francisco de Goya, Carr-Gomm S., 2005.

   Francisco Goya (1746-1828) was recognised from a very early age as the leading artist in Spain, rising to become the official portraitist of the Spanish Court. He was famed for the quality and speed at which he executed his drawings, and his etchings are of extraordinary delicacy. His use of chiaroscuro in his dark, intense paintings influenced many artists, including Manet.
This monograph presents the essential works of this pioneering artist, today considered the father of modern art.




Conclusion.
Astudy of Francisco Goya’s life and work appears to present many contradictions. For nearly forty years Goya was the principal painter at court and he recorded the glittering wealth of the Spanish nobility. At the same time, in one of the least enlightened countries in Europe, Goya was a liberal thinker. He was a tireless commentator on the social conditions of his age. He hated authority in any form, be it priest, soldier or official, and above all he hated those who exploited the helpless. He was concerned with the floating population, with criminals and prostitutes, and by the crippling poverty that resulted from the injustices of an uneven distribution of wealth. The court must have been ignorant of his criticism or blind to his cries of protest.

As painter to the court, Goya was entirely professional. During the 1870s and 1880s he was able to paint merry scenes of life in Madrid at a time when he himself must have been experiencing terrible grief; between 1774 to 1782 he wrote in his notebooks the full names and dates of birth of seven of his children, all of whom died in infancy. In his private work Goya expressed a universal suffering and made an extensive analysis of mankind. His devouring curiosity and restlessness of mind, even at the end of his life, is illustrated by the drawing of an old man, hesitantly leaning on crutches, inscribed “And I am still learning” (p.152).
