Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828) was a Spanish artist, now viewed as one of the leaders of the artistic movement Romanticism. He produced around 700 paintings, 280 prints, and several thousand drawings.
Goya's early career as a painter in the court of Charles III is marked by portraits of the Spanish aristocracy and tapestry cartoons in a Rococo style. Continuing to produce official portraits and paintings for the courts of Charles IV and Ferdinand VII, Goya's middle period is also notable for print series that satirize the human condition and show the brutalities of war.
Towards the end of his life, Goya created the enigmatic Black Paintings, applying oil paint directly onto the plaster walls of his house on the outskirts of Madrid.
Attribution Due to the demand for Goya's works since the 19th century, there is a large number of works falsely attributed to the artist in museums around the world and in private collections.Cinco falsos Goya cada día - La Razón.1,5 millones de euros en Goya falsificado incautadas - El Diario.Cuadros falsos de Goya - El PluralCaen falsificadores de pinturas de Goya y Velázquez - El Nacional5 cuadros falsos de Goya y Velázquez - La Sexta. Following the interpretation of Goya made by the French Romantics (later extended to Spain and the rest of the world), many 19th century painters such as Leonardo Alenza or Eugenio Lucas Velázquez produced works of low quality that they deliberately passed off as “Goyas” imitating his later style, emphasizing his grotesque and phantasmagoric facet, and using a loose brushstroke and blurred figures.Paula Fayos Pérez, Goya’s Caprichos in Nineteenth-Century France.
