Comment
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters. Goya is often referred to as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns.
The Kite ("La Cometa" in spanish) was produced by Francisco de Goya around 1777-1778 as part of a series of ten designs that were focused on the theme of life in the countryside. The commissioned set was intended to be hung at the El Escorial.
