compared to the extensive information about American artists.
One of the more famous Spanish painters associated with influencing
French Romantic painters, Francisco Goya was born in Fuendetodos, and
took his earliest art lessons from his father, who was a master
gilder. He also studied etching with monks in Saragossa, and then
in 1776, when he was age 30, went to Madrid, where he was influenced by
Giovanni Tiepolo, who did lighthearted historical genre scenes in rich
coloration.
In 1786, Goya became a court painter and did numerous (showing 500 of 1614 characters). |
