Description: From court portraits for the Spanish royals to horrific scenes of conflict and suffering Francisco Jos de Goya y Lucientes (1746 1828) made a mark as one of Spain's most revered and controversial artists. A master of form and light his influence reverberates down the centuries inspiring and fascinating artists from the Romantic Eug ne Delacroix to Britart enfants terribles the Chapman brothers. Born in Fuendetodos Spain in 1746, Goya was apprenticed to the Spanish royal family in 1774, where he produced etchings and tapestry cartoons for grand palaces and royal residences across the country. He was also patronized by the aristocracy painting commissioned portraits of the rich and powerful with his increasingly fluid and expressive style. Later after a bout of illness the artist moved towards darker etchings and drawings introducing a nightmarish realm of witches ghosts and fantastical creatures. It was however with his horrific depictions of conflict that Goya achieved enduring impact. Executed between 1810 and 1820, The Disasters of War was inspired by atrocities committed during the Spanish struggle for independence from the French and penetrated the very heart of human cruelty and sadism. The bleak tones agitated brushstrokes and aggressive use of Baroque - like light and dark contrasts recalled Vel zquez and Rembrandt but Goya's subject matter was unprecedented in its brutality and honesty. In this introductory book from Taschen Basic Art 2.0 we set out to explore the full arc of Goya's remarkable career from elegant court painter to deathly seer of suffering and grotesquerie. Along the way we encounter such famed portraits as Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Z iga the dazzling Naked Maja and The 3rd of May 1808 in Madrid one of the most heart - stopping images of war in the history of art.
