About the artist Goya:
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes ( March 30 , 1746 - April 16 , 1828 ) was a Spanish painter and printmaker . Goya was a court painter to the Spanish Crown, a chronicler of history. He has been regarded both as the last of the old masters and as the first of the moderns. The subversive and subjective element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided a model for the work of later generations of artists, notably Manet and Picasso . Many of Goya's works are on display in the Museo del Prado in Madrid .
About the painting "Señora Sabasa Garcia":The portrait of the "Señora Sabasa García" is one of the most beautiful ones among those executed by Goya, dealing with the female beauty. In the portrait of the "Señora Sabasa García" he masterfully highlighted the innocence of the young woman and her extraordinary beauty, not free from the sensuality the painter reflects in his portraits of women.
