	Francisco Goya
		Francisco de Goya is one of the greatest masters that Spain has ever produced and is considered the "Father of Modern Art".
		At the end of the 18th century, Goya embarked on a series of paintings and etchings full of imagery and personality, which were called the Caprichos (a term meaning caprice, invention) which made no concession to the fashions required by commissioned work.
		Thus, Goya rightly deserves to be placed amongst the pantheon of the Spanish Enlightenment, a place won by his pencil and brush.

		Goya's art can be defined by duality: public and private, light and dark, beautiful and grotesque.

		Francisco Goya, considered to be "the Father of Modern Art," began his painting career just after the late Baroque period.
		In order to understand the scope of Goya's art, and to appreciate the principles which governed his development and tremendous versatility, it is essential to realise that his work extended over a period of more than 60 years, for he continued to draw and paint until his 82nd year.
		The importance of this factor is evident between his attitude towards life in his youth, when he accepted the world as it was quite happily, in his manhood when he began to criticise it, and in his old age when he became embittered and disillusioned with people and society.
