* WartsAndAll: Goya was not afraid to the ugly side of human nature.

* OurWitchesAreDifferent: On ''Vuele de Brujas'' (''Witches' Flight'') they can fly in the air without the use of brooms.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish {{painter|s}} and graphic artist.

** ''Everyone will fall'' (Spanish: ''Todos caerán'')
** ''Art/TheSleepOfReasonProducesMonsters'' (Spanish: ''El sueño de la razón produce monstruos'')

* ''Art/TheInquisitionTribunal'' (Spanish: ''Auto de fé de la Inquisición'')

* ArtisticLicenceReligion: The painting usually called ''Saturn Devouring His Son'' diverges from the myth in two ways: Saturn devoured his children as infants (unlike the adult figure in the painting), and swallowed them whole, allowing them to be vomited up alive later (unlike the painting, where the large figure is gorily biting chunks off of the smaller one). For this reason, it's been speculated that the painting wasn't actually meant to represent this scene, or was based on it only loosely to represent horrors such as civil war or the Inquisition. Earlier drawings by Goya of the mythological scene stick closer to the story.

* CorruptChurch: In ''Witches' Sabbath'' he shows Satan in the form of a goat presiding in silhouette and moonlight over a coven of disfigured, ugly and terrified witches, providing the painting's alternate name, ''El Gran Macho Cabrío'' (''The Great He-Goat'').

** His painting ''Corral de locos'' shows a yard of a mental institution where a group of insane people are walking, sitting and fighting. ''Casa The Locos'' and ''Interior de cárcel'' show a scene within an asylum.

* OminousOwl: Seen on his painting ''The Sleep Of Reason Produces Monsters'', along with bats as a visual representation of the artists' nightmares. Another one appears on ''¿No hay quién nos desate? (Can't anyone unleash us?)'' in his ''Los Caprichos'' series.

* SelfDeprecation: Goya was always striving to learn and improve his art right to the day he died. One of his last drawings was [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Aún_aprendo.jpg a caricature]] of himself as a very old man, hoisted up on canes, with the caption "still learning" ("aun aprendo").

** ''The Third Of May, 1808'' has been imitated by Édouard Manet's ''The Execution of Emperor Maximilian'', as well as Creator/PabloPicasso's ''Massacre in Korea'', about the Korean War.

** ''The Second Of May, 1808'', in the meantime, shows the brutality of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dos_de_Mayo_Uprising Dos de Mayo Uprising]], as the ''madrileños'' rioted against the French soldiers occupying the city.

* Similar to ''Maja'' above, ''Volavérunt'' is a French-Spanish historical drama about the relationship between Goya and Maria. Goya is played by Jorge Perugorria.

* Played by Enric Majó in the miniseries ''Goya (1985)''.

He is famous for making several {{paintings}} and drawings that show the time period he lived in, WartsAndAll. His masterpiece ''The Third Of May, 1808'' is one of the most iconic anti-war statements in art, along with his gruesome series of drawings, ''Los Desastres De La Guerra'' (''The Disasters Of War''), which depicted the Napoleonic Wars that ravaged his country. Around his 40th birthday, an illness rendered him deaf, which made him more withdrawn and introspective. In effect, this made his art DarkerAndEdgier too, with lots of NightmareFuel scenes showing his scorn and fear of war, superstition, and mental illness.

* GoldTooth: One of the drawings in his ''Los Caprichos'' series shows a woman trying to get one of the gold teeth from the mouth of a hanged man, covering her face away from him.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: ''Man Mocked By Two Women'' shows two women mocking a man who, according to some art historians, seems to be masturbating.

** ''The Third Of May, 1808'' has been imitated by Edouard Manet's ''The Execution of Emperor Maximilian'', as well as Creator/PabloPicasso's ''Massacre in Korea'', about the Korean War.
** Manet also made his painting ''Olympia'' as a homage to ''Naked Maja''.
** The film ''Film/GoyasGhosts'' is about the painter's life, but halfway the story he becomes a case of WhatHappenedToTheMouse, as the other characters around him become more vital and important to the plot.

* He's the main protagonist of ''Film/GoyasGhosts'' directed by Creator/MilosForman. Goya was portrayed by Swedish actor Creator/StellanSkarsgård.
