Returning to Spain after a year, Goya started painting decorative, rococo frescoes for local churches. He studied with Francisco Bayeu, a local artist, who helped him find work designing patterns in the Royal Tapestry Workshop where he stayed for 17 years, producing over 60 designs. ਍ 㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀㰀⼀猀瀀愀渀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ

In 1773 Goya married Bayeu’s sister, Josefa, and his fortunes changed; the Spanish aristocracy started noticing his art and in 1780 he was nominated director of the Royal Academy of Art, a position that enabled him to become painter to King Charles III of Spain. Goya was at the peak of his popularity. ਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀㰀⼀猀瀀愀渀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ

But this success was not to last. In 1792 Goya contracted an unknown illness that left him deaf and became alienated and withdrawn. He spent his convalescence reading about the philosophy behind the French Revolution, which had taken place a few years earlier, and produced a series of etchings with bitter, dark visions inspired by its events. The series, known as the Caprichos is captioned “The sleep of reason produces monsters.” ਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀㰀⼀猀瀀愀渀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ

In 1808 Napoleon invaded Spain in a war that would last until 1814, and Goya became court painter to the French invaders. He produced a series of shocking prints called The Disasters of War. ਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀㰀⼀猀瀀愀渀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ

The Spanish monarchy was restored in 1814, but the new King did not appreciate Goya’s work. He had shocked the establishment by painting The Naked Maja; nudes were not considered acceptable subject matter in Spain then. Today, this painting is considered to be one of Goya’s masterpieces. To make matters worse, following the death of his wife in 1812, Goya began living with his housekeeper and her illegitimate daughter. ਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀㰀⼀猀瀀愀渀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ

Isolated and embittered, Goya went into seclusion, buying a house outside Madrid, which the locals dubbed the “House of the Deaf Man.” Here Goya was free to express his darkest visions. He worked on a series of nightmarish visions, known as the Black Paintings, which he painted on the walls of his house. After his death, the paintings were transferred to canvas and today are in the Prado museum in Madrid. These works are widely acknowledged to be the forerunners of the Expressionist movement. ਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀㰀⼀猀瀀愀渀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ

Goya left Spain in 1824 and settled in Bordeaux, France. He went back and forth between Bordeaux and Spain until he died in Bordeaux in 1828 at the age of 82. He continued painting until the very end and his career had spanned over 60 years. ਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀㰀⼀猀瀀愀渀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ
