The duchess of Alba was said to have been having an affair with Goya. In his painting of her Portrait of the Duchess of Alba1797, she is pictured wearing her funeral garb of the maja after the death of the duke, pointing down at goyas name in the dirt as well as wearing a ring on her finger with his face or initials on it (can't remember which). Also he was appointed spanish court painter so he also knew Carlos IV, Count Floridablanca, amongst many writers, philosophers, and other artists of his time.
At age 14, he entered apprenticeship with the painter José Luzán. He later moved to Madrid where he studied with Anton Raphael Mengs, a painter who was popular with Spanish royalty.Francisco Bayeu's membership of the Royal Academy of Fine Art (from the year 1765) helped him to procure work with the Royal Tapestry Workshop.There, over the course of five years, he designed some 42 patterns, many of which were used to decorate (and insulate) the bare stone walls of El Escorial and the Palacio Real del Pardo, the newly built residences of the Spanish monarchs. This brought his artistic talents to the attention of the Spanish monarchs who later would give him access to the royal court. He also painted a canvas for the altar of the Church of San Francisco El Grande, which led to his appointment as a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Art.
Goya was a Spanish painter and printmaker. Some say he was the last of the Old Masters and also the first of the moderns. He was court painter to the Spanish king and painted history and portraits. The subversive and subjective element in his art, and his bold handling of paint, were a model for the work of later generations of artists, for instance Manet and Picasso.
