His passion for art!

• At the age of 14 his teacher told him to go and
  study art with Jose Luzian who was a famous
  artist in those days. After studying with Jose,
  Goya learned drawing, engraving, oil painting and
  lots more. Goya became so incredibly interested
  in art that he moved to Italy at age twenty four
  hoping to meet new painters. This is Jose.

His first mission

• Returning to Spain after staying in Italy for
  a year, Goya stayed in Saragossa where he was
  awarded with his first commission. It was to
  paint six paintings for the palace of Sobradiel

Madrid

• In 1774, Francisco Goya was called to Madrid to
  follow his dream while at the same time working
  at the Royal Tapestry factory under his
  brother-in-law, Francisco Bayeus, supervision.
  Herked theyre for almost twenty years making
  cartoons and oil paintings that the weavers
  copied exactly onto wool. Already at
  twenty-eight, Goya was the top employee at the
  factory because he earned more from his boss than
  was supposed to be given.

Parasol

• Goyas first real painting, that was also
  successful, was called the Parasol. His work was
  greatly appreciated by the Prince and Princess of
  the Asturias. Hung over the doorway of the palace
  the Parasol was full of elegance and colour. The
  colours he used included ivory, black, Terre
  green, light red, Naples yellow and many more.
  Looking at the picture closely you will see that
  the two couples are at the top of the mountain
  sitting against the sky. Goya also added
  accessories to the figures to show the woman was
  royal.

After his war

• After having a six-year break because of the war
  with England, Goya he went back to his workshop
  now a successful painter. Still studying and
  painting portraits for King Charles the third who
  died two years later he was interested in King
  Charles the fourth and Maria Lusia. Later, Goya
  became so famous he took the position of First
  Painter to the King. As his painter he painted
  for him for many years. The paintings included
  new series of six cartoons, social scene, and
  second series for their princess.

Turning point

• In 1792 Francisco discovered a horrible illness,
  just before he finished a successful painting
  called Sebastian Martinez, some of his best work
  . With the right medication his illness faded but
  all of a sudden it came back and soon he became
  deaf . Still even with his illness Goya was
  determined to carry on with his art Since Goya's
  illness left him deaf he was forced to now work
  on small paintings such as his witchcraft
  paintings and cabinet pictures.

10
Almost the end

• By now it was past the 1800s and at the time
  when Goya was nearly seventy-three. The French
  and Korean War had finally ended after five
  years. At this time, Goya became so seriously ill
  he was very close to dying. The odd illness that
  had made him deaf had come back to harm him
  again. Dr. Arrieta, Goyas doctor, had helped him
  with the crisis and the following year he felt
  much better. Painting it as a thank you for
  saving his life, Goya created a painting for him
  called Self-Portrait with Dr. Arrieta. It was
  surely a very touching painting with Dr. Arrieta
  helping Goya fell better. At the bottom of the
  painting was a small space where Goya had written
  a grateful couple sentences (in Spanish) of how
  his doctor had saved his life.

R.I.P

  famous painting such as the Black Paintings, The
  Milkmaid of Bordeaux and The Deaf Man and more
  for king Louis VIII. At eighty Goyas condition
  grew so much that he unfortunately died on April
  15, 1828.
