Frequently Asked Questions

  • When did Francisco Goya live?
    Francisco Goya lived from 1746 to 1828. He lived during the Rococo period and Romanticism.
  • Is Francisco Goya romanticism?
    Painting is closely associated with Romanticism because it allowed for a spontaneous outpouring of emotion. Many art historians think of the study or sketch, whether painted or drawn, as the quintessential Romantic medium.

    In 1792, a serious illness left Francisco Goya permanently deaf, and he became more introspective. His work increasingly featured fantasies from his imagination, blended with sardonic observations of human behaviour; his religious frescoes also evolved.
  • What is Francisco Goya best known for?
    Francisco Goya witnessed the terrible massacre of civilians by the soldiers at Puerto del Sol when the Revolution broke out in 1808. Out of this came one of the most shockingly realistic of all paintings of war.

  • Why did Francisco Goya paint the black paintings?
    Between 1819 and 1823, deaf and disillusioned, Francisco Goya painted fourteen works directly onto the plaster walls of his farmhouse on the outskirts of Madrid, the Quinta del Sordo. These Black Paintings were never meant to be seen by anyone.
  • Francisco Goya art movement?
    The paintings of Francisco Goya fit no category. He was a lifelong rebel and libertarian fiercely opposed to tyranny of all sorts; he began as a semi-Rococo designer of amusing scenes for tapestries.
