ART HISTORY MEME→ [7/8] Artists
Francisco de Goya (1748-1828)
Atropos (The Fates) from the Black Paintings (1819-1823) | St. Francis Borgia Helping a Dying Impenitent (1795) | Yard with Lunatics (1794) | Still Life:A Butcher’s Counter (1810-1812) | A Pilgrimage to San Isidro from the Black Paintings (1819-1823)
Francisco de Goya was a Spanish painter and engraver. Although he was a court painter to the Spanish crown, he is more well known for his independent works which he created towards the end of his career. In 1793, Goya suffered from a severe mental breakdown and an illness which left him deaf. He became more and more withdrawn and introverted and the subject matter of his paintings becoming significantly darker and more violent than the court portraiture from his earlier career. The more his physical and mental health deteriorated, the disturbing and gory his art became.
The last of Goya’s greatest works, known by art historians as the Black Paintings, was a series of 14 murals that were painted directly on the walls of his private villa. The murals had macabre subject matters featuring scenes of gore, death and portraits of people with twisted and contorted facial expressions. Although Goya never spoke or wrote of the paintings, they give insight on his disturbed psychological state towards the end of his life. Goya is considered one of the first great artists of the modern age, inspiring many future artists like Manet and Picasso with his imaginative scenes and bold technique.

The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver snowy slope; big stars were shining over the silent fields; here and there the dark pointed firs stood up with snow powdering their branches and the wind whistling through them.
