Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746 – 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and as the first of the moderns. The subversive and imaginative element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided a model for the work of later generations of artists, from expressionist, modernist and most notably Manet and Picasso.

Throughout his career, Goya produced an enormous oeuvre of paintings, prints, and drawings whose content and tone can be patriotic or subversive, spiritual or satiric, grave or humorous, and anything in between. His themes range from merry festivals for tapestry, draft cartoons, to scenes of war and corpses.

Goyas etchings and aquatints portray Goyas enigmatic and fantastical interior world. They also reflect some of his darkest visions about the horror and destruction of war, and "the monsters produced by the sleep of reason".
