Goya (1746, Fuendetodos, Spain – 1828, Bordeaux) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker, one of the most important European artists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He lived through multiple political upheavals, and his work reflected the chaos and change in Spain’s political landscape. His print series such as the Disasters of War, with vivid portrayals of the horrors and aftermath of Napoleon’s invasion of Spain in 1808, continue to influence artists today.
