He was born on 1746 in Fuendetodos, Spain. He began his art studies as a teenager (and even spent time in Rome, Italy, to advance his skills). In 1770s, he began to work for Spanish royal court and – in addition to his – commissioned portraits of the nobility, creating works that criticized his era. At first, Goya learned by imitation. He copied the works of great masters, finding inspiration in the works of such artists. In 1779, Francisco Goya won an appointment as a painter to the royal court, but in 1792 he became completely deaf, after suffering from an unknown malady. With Ferdinand VII in power, he kept his position in the Spanish court (despite having worked for Bonaparte). Same size (95 x 190cm) and the same author (Francisco Goya). Same period of construction (around 1800), the same production technique (oil on canvas). Maja Vestida and Desnuda. The pair of paintings is made up of two of the most famous works by Francisco Goya.
