40. Goya

41. Goya did a collective portrait of the family of Charles IV, who had named him to the post of Court Painter, in the year 1800; in fact it was the last royal portrait he would paint. The Royal Family seems to be presided over by Queen Maria Luisa, as was the case in fact, instead of by the king. Goya included himself, by the way a self-portrait, before a canvas on the left of the painting, as Velázquez had done many years before when he painted the Family of Philip IV, called Las Meninas. Goya always recognized Velázquez, together with Rembrandt and Mother Nature, as his only three teachers. His technique. loose brush strokes that seem almost impressionistic, reached one of its highest levels in this painting.

43. The Shootings of May Third 1808 1814

44. During the latter part of his life, before he moved to France, where he died, Goya covered the walls of his Deaf Man's House with his famous "black paintings" the last and most weird and extrovert of his strange and haunted genius. Some of his visions seem to go deeper into the dark recesses of the mind than we are capable of penetrating. One, "Saturn Devouring one of his Children", is one of the most horrifying pictures ever painted. His life built up to a climax, isolations and despair provided the conditions in which he produced his innermost masterpieces. In many ways he personified the spirit of Spain, where the power and beauty of death seemed to brood in the air. Goya’s Black Paintings
