provided a model for the work of later generations of artists.

•At age 14, Goya entered apprenticeship with the painter José Luzán in Zaragoza

Goya’s deafness
Between 1792 and 1793, a serious illness, which exact nature is not known, left Goya deaf, and he became withdrawn and
introspective. Gestures and facial expressions became vivid and images stayed
in his mind
PORTRAITS

María Luisa de Parma.
La marquesa de Pontejos

His portraits are notable because he did not worry to flatter, and in the case of Carlos IV of Spain and His Family, the lack of visual diplomacy is
remarkable
