Goya y Lucientes, Francisco José de

Japanese: ゴヤ（英語表記）Goya y Lucientes， Francisco José de

Born: March 30, 1746, Fuendetodos, near Zaragoza
[Died] April 16, 1828. Spanish painter and printmaker from Bordeaux. In 1766 he moved to Madrid to study under the court painter F. Bayeu. In 1773 he married Bayeu's sister and settled in Madrid. He was recognized for the many sketches he produced for the Royal Tapestry Factory, and in 1889 he became the court painter of Charles IV. In 1895 he became president of the Academy, and in 1899 he became the first royal painter. He produced many masterpieces, including the clothed and nude "Maja" (Prado Museum, Madrid), and "Carlos IV and his Family" (1800, same museum). He also painted "The Uprising of May 2nd" and "Execution of May 3rd" (same museum), which were themes taken from the anti-Napoleonic wars, around 1814. Already showing a strong tendency towards satire and fantasy with his print series Los Caprichos (1799) and The Disasters of War (first published in 1863), he retired to the "House of the Deaf" and produced a series of so-called "Black Paintings". To avoid persecution, he later went into exile in Bordeaux, France in 1824, where he painted bullfights and other subjects. His vivid sense of color, depiction of light, and combination of a sharp view of reality and visionary qualities are considered to have paved the way for modern painting.

スペインの画家，版画家。 1766年マドリードに出て宮廷画家 F.バイユーのもとで修業。 73年その妹と結婚してマドリードに定住。王立タペストリー工場のために制作した多くの下絵によって認められ，89年にはカルロス4世の宮廷画家となる。 95年アカデミア総裁，99年首席王室画家となり，着衣および裸体の『マハ』 (マドリード，プラド美術館) をはじめ『カルロス4世とその家族』 (1800，同) など多くの傑作を制作。他方 1814年頃，反ナポレオン戦争中に主題を得た『5月2日の蜂起』や『5月3日の処刑』 (同) なども描いている。またすでに版画の連作『ロス・カプリチョス』 (1799) ，『戦争の惨禍』 (1863初刊) などによって，風刺的，幻想的傾向を強めていた彼は，「聾者の家」に隠棲していわゆる「黒い絵」の連作を描いた。その後弾圧を避けて 24年にフランスのボルドーに亡命し，闘牛その他を描く。鮮明な色彩感，光の描写，鋭い現実直視と幻視性の結合などは，近代絵画への道を開いたものとされる。
