Spanish Rococo Painter
Goya found great success as Painter to the King (of Spain) and produced wonderful portraits. One suspects he had much more fun producing satirical works, though, as well as pushing the limits at court with his nudes. The barely veiled social commentary he rendered in his later works served as a precursor of the Realism movement.
