a masterpiece

The Sunshade
Make a choice between the hundreds of masterpiece of arts that I like is hard because every class I learn something interesting about a master of arts. I think that there many big artists but in this time I will write about a one in special he is from Spain, his style is defined as romanticism but as time he is considered like a precursor of modern arts. I talking about Francisco de Goya, I will try give a resume of his career. He born in 1746 in the city of Fuendetodos, he started in the painting doing tapestry cartoons would be used for royalty. In this way Francisco de Goya met important people. Generally his designs are of custom scene or landscape with people who enjoy the moment, this kind of art is called "Pintura Galante". For example "the sunshade" (El Quitasol) with a beautiful and charming girl that is courted for a boy who has a sunshade to protect she, the colours are shiny and nothing can  break the harmony in the scene, they looks very relax. Goya's style is more than this, he painted a series of the disasters of war maybe one of the most important. Here he evidenced  the terrible consecuense in the war among the years 1810-1815 and is composed by 82 engravings. I remember a one paint in special the name is "this is worse". Here we can see a die man outraged there is not respect between the people who was in the war, there's no more hero. Behind the dead men there's a man sleping to this man this body doesn't exist, he can stay there without remorse and there's another group beside this sleping man. In this group we can see a meting between soldiers, nobody here cares the dead man. 
Goya painted many temes some are about common people and other of the royalty, he has give us a wide variety of topics, now we can see his painting in the nacional museum of Prado we can find one hundred and forty paintings.
this is worse
