Francisco
de Goya was born in 1746 in Spain. He was a portraitist of royalty
and he also chronicled history in his paintings and engravings.
He depicted scenes of horror during the Peninsula War. He went
deaf in 1792, and modern doctors have suggested that he was slowly
being poisoned by the lead pigment he used in his paints. He died
while exiled in Bordeaux in 1828.
