{"product_id":"francisco-de-goya-el-tio-paquete-fine-art-print","title":"Francisco de Goya — El tío Paquete | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe head and shoulders of an old man fill the canvas, tilted slightly as he grins broadly with his eyes closed or narrowed to slits. His face is laid on in quick strokes of pink, red and brown, framed by white hair under a dark cap. A white collar shows at his neck above black clothing, and the background is nearly black, so the face seems to float out of the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn inscription once on the back of the canvas, lost when it was lined after 1887, identified the sitter as a famous local blind man. The Thyssen-Bornemisza identifies him as Tío Paquete, known in Madrid around the church of San Felipe el Real for his blindness and for his skill as a singer and guitarist, and dates the canvas close to the Black Paintings Goya made for his house outside Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, about 1819-1820; Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancisco de Goya (1746–1828) was a Spanish painter and printmaker, born in Fuendetodos in Aragon. He rose through tapestry designs for the royal factory to become court painter to Charles IV in 1789 and First Court Painter in 1799. Deafness from 1793 turned his work inward: the eighty prints of Los Caprichos appeared in 1799, the Disasters of War recorded the Peninsular War (published only in 1863), and the Black Paintings covered the walls of his house outside Madrid in 1819–1823. He left Spain in 1824 and died in Bordeaux; The Third of May 1808 and the Black Paintings hang in the Museo del Prado.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order. Unframed prints are made on Hahnemühle German Etching, a 310gsm matte fine-art paper.
