Chicago's Art Institute of Chicago holds 13 works by Francisco Goya (1746–1828) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Goya was the leading Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and court painter to the Spanish crown. His work spans elegant royal portraits, war scenes of brutal clarity, and the nightmarish Black Paintings — painted on the walls of his home in old age — making him one of the most psychologically complex artists in the Western tradition.
