Goya's works on the Napoleonic wars come to India for the first time
Goyas works on the Napoleonic wars come to India for the first time
Photography did not exist in the 1800s. But when Napoleons army invaded Spain in 1814, painter Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes created 82 printed etchings on tablets, using the same material as those in modern photography. He called these Los Desastres de la Guerra (The Disasters of War). It wasnt until 35 years after his death in 1828 that these stolen images were revealed, and Goya was pitched alongside significant artists such as Pablo Picasso and Rembrandt. Now, for the first time, these works are being exhibited in India, at the Instituto Cervantes in Delhi.
Called The Disaster and War Photography: Goya, the exhibition has been curated by Juan Bordes, Officer of the National Engraving at the Royal Fine Arts Academy of San Fernando. The exhibition also comprises works by modern Spanish photographers which are similar to Goyas etchings.
Among Goyas works on display is Tampoco, showing a soldier standing gleefully in front of the body of an executed man, and No Se Puede Mirar, in which desperate men, women and children confusedly waiting for a fatal shooting; the presence of a well-dressed person in the group shows that war affects all social classes in the same way. Barbaros zeroes in on a guerrilla action as a firing squad takes aim in a countryside.

Francisco Goya, considered to be “the Father of Modern Art,” began his painting career just after the late Baroque period. In expressing his thoughts and feelings frankly, as he did, he became the pioneer of new artistic tendencies which were to come to fruition in the 19th century. As an artist, Goya was by temperament far removed from the classicals. In a few works he approached Classical style, but in the greater part of his work the Romantic triumphed.
LIFE and WORK:
Goya was born on 30 March 1746, in a very poor village called Fuendetodos, near Saragossa, in Aragon. Goya’s father was a gilder. He began his artistic studies at the age of 13 when he was employed as a young teenager under the mediocre artist Jose Luzan. Goya learned to draw from him and in this time he copied prints of several masters. At the age of 17 he went to Madrid. His style was influenced by two painters – Tiepolo and Antonio Raphael Mengs. In 1763 he entered a competition at the Royal Accademy of San Fernando and failed as he did in the year 1766. In 1770 he went to Rome and survived by living off his works of art.
In April of 1771 he participated in a competition held by the Academy of Parma introducing himself as a pupil of Francisco Bayeu. By the end of 1771, Goya was back in Saragossa, where he received his first official commission, the frescoes in the Cathedral of El Pilar. In 1773 Goya married Josefa Bayeu. In 1774, the German artist Anton Raphael Mengs summoned Goya to Madrid to paint cartoons for tapestries for the Royal Factory of Santa Barbara. Under the direction first of Mengs, and later of Francisco Bayeu and Mariano Maella, Goya executed over 60 tapestry cartoons between 1775 and 1792. In 1780, Goya was elected a member of the Royal Academy of San Fernando. In 1780-81, he worked on the frescoes of El Pilar in Saragossa. On his return to Madrid he received the royal invitation to paintfor the newly built church of San Francisco el Grande. In 1785, a year after the paintings were first shown to the public, Goya was appointed Deputy Director of Painting in the Academy.
