Bruno Cassier Oxford, 1964. Pag. 130. Nr 90. _________________________________________________________________ Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes was a Spanish painter and printmaker. His work includes easel and mural painting, engraving and drawing. His style evolved from Rococo, through Neoclassicism, to Pre-Romanticism, always interpreted in a personal and original way, and always with an underlying trait of naturalism, the reflection of reality without an idealistic vision that sweetens or distorts it, where The ethical message is equally important. For Goya, painting is a vehicle of moral instruction, not a simple aesthetic object. His most contemporary references were Giambattista Tiepolo and Anton Raphael Mengs, although he was also influenced by Diego Velázquez and Rembrandt. Goyesque art represents one of the turning points that between the 18th and 19th centuries herald contemporary painting and is a precursor of some of the pictorial avant-garde of the 20th century, especially expressionism; For all these reasons, he is considered one of the most relevant Spanish artists and one of the great masters of world art history. Furthermore, his work reflects the turbulent historical period in which he lived, particularly the War of Independence, of which the series of prints of The Disasters of War is almost a modern report of the atrocities committed and composes a vision devoid of heroism where The victims are always individuals of any class and condition. His naked Maja has great popularity, partly favored by the controversy generated around the identity of the beautiful woman portrayed. Other portraits that embark on the path towards new bourgeois art also date from the beginning of the 19th century. At the end of the Spanish-French conflict he painted two large paintings about the events of the May 2 uprising of 1808, which established both an aesthetic and thematic precedent for the history painting, which not only comments on events close to the reality he lives. the artist, but reaches a universal message. Among his other works, his culminating work includes the Disparates, as well as the series of oil paintings on the dry wall, the black paintings, with which he decorated his country house, the Quinta del Sordo. In them Goya anticipated contemporary painting and the various avant-garde movements that would mark the 20th century and are, according to J. M. Matilla, head of Conservation of Drawings and Prints at the Museo Nacional del Prado, "the first manifestations of Goya's truly modern character, who we should not hesitate to describe as the first modern artist. Goya's work includes some five hundred oil paintings and wall paintings, as well as nearly three hundred etchings and lithographs and hundreds of drawings. The majority is preserved in the Prado Museum in Madrid, although there are also a good number of works in France, especially in the Louvre Museum, as well as those in Agen, Bayonne, Besançon, Castres, Lille and Strasbourg.

Note: The British Museum has two impressions, one trimmed the other full sheet as this example. Accession Number: 1868,0711.35 The Metropolitan Museum has an impression: Accession number 59.533.314 Fitzwilliam Museum: Accession number: 34.14-286 Cleveland Museum of Art accession number: 1958.10 Image description per BM: Three ramshackle two-wheeled carts drawn by wretched horses race (right to left) against a background formed by the clouds of dust which they have raised, with a row of gabled houses (right) inscribed 'St Giles', terminating in a church spire (left), and probably representing Broad St. Giles. The occupants of the carts are Irish costermongers typical of St. Giles. The foremost horse gallops, urged on by the shouts of a standing man brandishing a club. The other occupants, two women and a man, cheer derisively the next cart, whose horse has fallen, one woman falling from it head-first, another lies on the ground. The driver lashes the horse furiously. The third cart, of heavier construction, is starting. The horses are partly obscured by the clouds of dust, but denizens watch from casement windows and a door. Two ragged urchins (right) cheer the race; a dog barks. "It was said that the amount of copper Thomas Rowlandson etched would sheathe the British Navy. An inveterate gambler, for much of his life Rowlandson had to produce a flood of his comic prints to stay ahead of financial losses.A wealthy uncle and aunt raised Rowlandson after his textile-merchant father went bankrupt. His career developed quickly. He entered London's Royal Academy Schools in 1772, visited Paris in 1774, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1775, and won a silver medal in 1777. He left school in 1778 to set up in business. Rowlandson's depictions of life in Georgian England exposed human foibles and vanity with sympathy and rollicking humor. During the 1780s he consolidated the delicate style he used for his coarse subjects. He worked mainly in ink and watercolor, his rhythmic compositions, flowing line, and relaxed elegance inspired by French Rococo art...
