Francisco Goya

Francisco Goya was a Spanish painter and printmaker from the late 18th to early 19th century. Goya's style underwent significant changes over the years, making it difficult to define a single visual style for him. In his early works, he followed the Rococo style with its bright colors, delicate brushwork, and scenes depicting aristocracy. However, Goya later developed a more realistic and somber style, known as his 'Black Paintings,' which are characterized by dark tones, grotesque figures, and themes of despair and madness. Goya's work was highly influential in the art world and he is widely regarded as one of the most important Spanish artists of all time.
