From his thought-provoking series "Los Caprichos" to his striking portraits and dramatic scenes, Goya's talent knew no bounds. In Plate 80 from Los Caprichos titled "It is time (Ya es hora. )", created in 1799, Goya presents a powerful commentary on societal issues.

Moving away from social critique, Plate 25 from Los Caprichos entitled "If he broke the pot (Si quebro el Cantaro. )" offers a glimpse into everyday life during that era. With meticulous attention to detail, Goya portrays ordinary moments that carry profound meaning. One cannot discuss Francisco Goya without mentioning his famous painting "Majas on a Balcony, " dating back to around 1800-1810. This enchanting artwork captures the essence of Spanish culture through its depiction of two elegant women enjoying their leisurely pastime. Goya's versatility as an artist is evident in pieces like "The Hanged Monk, " circa 1810. This haunting composition delves into darker realms while showcasing his mastery over capturing intense emotions and evoking visceral reactions. "Winter Scene, " painted around 1786, transports us to a serene landscape blanketed by snow. Here we witness Goya's skillful use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere—a testament to his technical prowess.
