This resource is about Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828), Spanish painter and engraver, multifaceted artist, portraitist of royalty, bullfighting enthusiast, with his 33 engravings on this theme, whose life is surrounded by several anecdotes, one of them being the mystery of the whereabouts of his skull, as it was not found inside the coffin when his body was exhumed in 1888 in Bordeaux. His technique, full of versatility and rapid execution, has transcended the history of art and the artist is considered one of the best in his craft. It also describes how several of his paintings were lost, two of which belonged to the collection of María Josefa de la Soledad Alfonso-Pimentel y Téllez-Girón, Duchess of Osuna. Lastly, reference is made to works by him that have disappeared or are misattributed, such as The Milkmaid of Bordeaux and The Colossus, in which the importance of the master’s disciples is emphasised.
