Person
The last of the Old Masters and the first of the Moderns, Francisco Goya (1746-1828) was a court painter whose portraits of the Spanish royal family exhibit a remarkable frankness and lack of flattery. Goya's later works took on a darker cast and are considered the precursors to the Expressionist movement.
