Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828)

Francisco de Goya is with Diego Velasquez one of the most important painters of modern Spanish painting.

His most famous painting is certainly "Tres de Mayo", painted in 1814, the image offers a strong vision of the repression of the Spanish resistance fighters by Napoleon's troops. In addition to his paintings, Goya is also known for his engravings. Goya's work is today considered to herald the Romantic movement.
