Francisco Goya y Lucientes ranks with the great masters of modern painting. As a satirist he may be termed the Spanish Hogarth; his portraits recall the best period of the eighteenth century, whilst in his designs for tapestry he frankly emulated the light grace of the French craftsmen. Yet he could treat sterner subjects in a severer style. His large canvases, dealing in a realistic and dreadful fashion with the horrors of the French war, prove that he was artistically the precursor of Manet. His etchings are superb. Goya’s life was as full of incident as that of Benvenuto Cellini. Although a Court painter he was a fervent Republican. At last, sick of Bourbon misrule, he fled to France, and died in Bordeaux, April 16, 1828, at the advanced age of eighty-two.
