	Goya - MSN Encarta
		Goya was born in the small Aragonese town of Fuendetodos (near Zaragoza) on March 30, 1746.
		Goya's formal artistic education commenced when, at the age of 14, he was apprenticed to a local master, José Luzan, a competent although little-known painter in whose studio Goya spent four years.
		Bayeu (the brother of Goya's wife) was influential in forming Goya's early style and was responsible for his participation in an important commission, the fresco decoration (1771, 1780-1782) of the Church of the Virgin in El Pilar in Zaragoza.

	Francisco de Goya
		"Goya's portrait of himself being nursed by his physician is inscribed: 'Goya in gratitude to his friend Arrieta for the skill and care with which he saved his life in his acute and dangerous illness suffered at the end of the year 1819 at the age of 73.
		He painted it in 1820.' Goya otherwise celebrated his rescue from the jaws of death by decorating the walls of his villa, the Quinta del Sordo, with the fourteen 'fl paintings', which by and large are the most sickening images he ever painted.
		In a Goya drawing of, say, two men fighting, the drama lies less in how they are seen to act in relation to each other than in the expressiveness of the configuration which their combined forms establish on the page.

	Francisco Goya
		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.
		However, by the end of the century, Goya was working on themes from the War of Independence, drawing sketches and making etchings which clearly show a sharp awareness of social conditions of the time.
		Thus, Goya rightly deserves to be placed amongst the pantheon of the Spanish Enlightenment, a place won by his pencil and brush.

	GOYA
		Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, the son of a gilder, was born on 30 March 1746 in the desolate village of Fuendetodos in western Spain.
		Goya's own allegiances are not clear, but he was appalled by the brutality of the fighting, and in his horrific series of etchings, the Disasters of War, he portrayed atrocities committed by both sides.
		Whatever Goya's political views, he also had to make a living, and it was therefore prudent of him, if not especially principled, to swear allegiance to the French king and accept from him in 1811 the Royal Order of Spain.

	Goya's unflinching eye \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Goya was incredibly lucky in having, as Pintor del Camara (court painter), the kind of direct access to his major work that most painters could only envy.
		Goya at 50, with his low and provincial origins, was still somewhat a man of the pueblo, the ordinary people, to whom the ilustrados were nobs, separated by class and ideas from their world - afrancesados, "Frenchified".
		Goya's imaginative roots were deeply wound into the world of the pueblo : old Spain, "fl" Spain, the culture of priests and Inquisitors, of witch-fears, masques and the blood-rituals of the bullfight.

	The Sleep of Reason Brings Forth Monsters
		But Goya's prints were hardly that: as he himself explained them, their subject matter was selected from "the innumerable foibles and follies to be found in any civilized society, and from the common prejudices and deceitful practices which custom, ignorance, or self-interest have made usual.
		Goya emerged from schooling literate but hardly educated and was apprenticed at age thirteen to a painter, a friend of his father.
		For Hughes, Goya is a man of ferocious spirit and energy, an artist of astounding originality, an eighteenth century Spaniard at once isolated from and embroiled in his culture, inspired and repulsed by the terrifying temper of his times.

		Goya returns to his beginnings´ brightness, blurring borders and including blue colour in the background.
		Goya again shows his ability to capture a moment in action, here he fills the scene with great vitality and life, as well as the sensuality of eating and sharing out in the open landscape.
		This was around the time that he became totally deaf, as the smile on the child in the painting shows, happiness mixed with aprehension and maybe fear, which is different from the usual bliss of his scenes which were to decorate the palaces dining rooms.

		Goya has been important to Hughes throughout his life: his first art purchase as student in Australia was one of the etchings of Goya's `Capricho' series.
		Hughes admits that it was probably this experience coupled with a vision of Goya himself that made him truly comprehend and incorporate Goya's life of reactionary to the Church, to the absurdity and viciousness of War, to the Inquisition, and to the social injustices he observed.
		Rather that writing the life of Goya from his birth chronologically through to his death and epilogue, Hughes examines a life that is inevitably destined to paint the darkness of the Black Paintings and the Caprichos with frequent asides, a style that creates incredible energy in the telling of the life of this amazing artist.
