Francisco Goya
Court painter to the Spanish crown who went deaf at forty-six and spent his last years painting the Black Paintings directly onto the walls of his house.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters.
