Francisco Goya is considered as the most significant painter of Spain for the late 18-th and near the beginning 19-th centuries. Over the line of his extended career, he transformed from cheerful and bright to deeply negative in his paintings and drawings. Goya completed some 500 oil paintings and murals, about 300 etchings and lithographs, and many hundreds of drawings. He was exceptionally versatile and his work expresses a very wide range of emotion. His technical freedom and originality likewise are remarkable. In his own day he was chiefly celebrated for his portraits, of which he painted more than 200; but his fame now rests equally on his other work.
