Biography:
Born near Saragossa, Spain as Franciso Jose de Goya y Lucientes, he moved to Madrid in 1765 after being involved in a gang fight where three were killed. After a brief bull-fighting career, Goya arrived in Rome and began to study art. He returned to Spain in 1798 and designed tapestries, and also created frescoes and etchings. Goya was appointed court painter to Charles IV in 1799, painting primarily portraits. He also focused on war paintings and etchings after the French invasion of 1808. In 1824, Goya moved to Bordeaux and continued painting throughout his old age.
