Francesco de Goya (1746-1828) was a Spanish painter born near Saragossa. After studying in Italy he settled in Madrid in 1775 where he painted scenes of Spanish life for the royal tapestry factory. As court painter from 1789 Goya produced realistic and unflattering portraits of the royal family. He became deaf in 1792 and his works grew pessimistic and sometimes nightmarish. Goya’s best known paintings are ‘Maja Clothed’, ‘The Shootings of 3 May 1808’ and the so-called black paintings such as ‘Satan Devouring His Children.’
