Goya took his earliest art lessons from his father, who was a master gilder. As he became famous he was one of several artists who had an influence on French Romantic painters. He also studied etching with monks and eventually went to Madrid, where he was influenced by Giovanni Tiepolo, who did lighthearted historical genre scenes. As he was recovering from ill health, he did the work for which he is most known - satirical scenes.
