Al expresar francamente sus pensamientos y creéncias, como fué su costumbre, llegó ser el pionero de las tendencias nuevas que llegaron a su culminación en el siglo 19. Dos factores importantes, que dieron la impresion de ser contradictorias pero que no fueron, dominaron su arte. Juntos, representaron la reacción contra concepciones previas del arte y el deseo de encontrar una forma nueva de expresión. Para entender el alcance del arte de Goya, y para apreciar los princípios que governaron su desarollo y su tremenda versatilidad, es impresendible entender que su labor cubrió un periódo de mas de 60 anos, porque continuó dibujar y pintar hasta la edad de 82. La importancia de este factor es evidente cuando se compara su actitud hacía la vida en su juventud, cuando aceptó felízmente el mundo tal como era, durante sus años como adulto, cuando empiezó a criticarlo, y en su vejéz cuando llegó ser amargo y desilusionado con la gente y la sociedad. Además, el mundo cambió totalmente durante su vida. La sociedad, en la cual había alcanzado un éxito enorme, desapareció durante la guerra Nápoleonica. Mucho antes del fin del siglo 18, Goya ya había vuelto hacía sus ideales nuevas y las había expresado en su arte gráfica y sus nuevas pinturas. Como artista, Goya fue por temperamento lejos de las obras clásicas. Solo en algunas de sus obras llegó cerca de un estilo clásico pero, en la gran mayoría de su trabajo, el estilo “Romántico” triumfó. Nacido en Zaragoza, España, obtuvó empleo cuando era joven con el artista mediocre José Luzan, del cual aprendió dibujar y, como era de costumbre, hizó copias de las pinturas de varios maestros. A la edad de 17, se fué a Madrid. Su estilo fue influenciado por dos artistas que trabajaron ahi. El último de los grandes artistas Venecianos — Tiépolo — y el artista neo-clásico, algo frio y eficiente, — Antonio Rafael Mengs. En el ano 1763, competió en la Académia Real de San Fernando pero, en ese año y tambien en el año 1766, fracasó. En 1770, se fué a Roma y sobrevivió de sus obras de arte.   ..taken from imageone.com/goya Francisco Goya, quien se considera ser “El Padre del Arte Moderno”, empiezó su carrera como artista inmediatemente después del periódo “Baroque”.
