Goya: Black Paintings

The "Black Paintings" is the name given to that series of oils that Goya painted directly onto the walls of two of the rooms of his country house between 1819-20 and 1823 and that by which they have come to be known, albeit this overall title for them can only be authenticated for the 20th Century. Whether or not they were previously so called, we do not know. Of all Goya's works, these have, perhaps, the most immediate impact for us and this not only for the nature of their subject matter or the sombre, blackened and overpowering way in which this is conveyed but as much again for their starkly arresting visual punch and the power of their expressivity to button hole our responses across the ages. These are no commissioned stuff, in these works Goya bowed to no one's taste but his own and so put down his thoughts on Man's estate and the World. His influence upon contemporary Expressionism and Surrealism has been gigantic and his delineating of things absurd, violent and irrational has become a model that bestrides modern culture. The paintings come from two rooms of similar size but differing layout, one upstairs, the other down, in the house bought by the artist in 1819 and which he left to his grandson in 1823 when he was driven away to France. The meaning of the works has been the subject of much lively debate and as yet there is no general agreement among the various schools as to the same and so it would be as well to have all the facts to hand before making a go at an explanation of them.

The first fact is Goya's buying his country house, "La Quinta del Sordo" (The Deaf Man's Place). Why he bought an out of town house-close to the present day Paseo de Extremadura - and made it his permanent residence can be explained in the light of various factors and the first of these must be political. After the Peninsular War, the restored King Ferdinand VII let lose an absolutist repression upon Madrid life and especially against any such who, like Goya, had had pro-French or liberal friends and were thus seen askance by the Inquisition.
