On a day like today, Spanish artist Francisco Goya, died
April 16 1828.- Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March
1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker regarded
both as the last of the Old Masters and as the first of the moderns. Goya was a
court painter to the Spanish Crown, and through his works was both a commentator
on and chronicler of his era. 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, notably Manet and Picasso. In this image: A view of
