Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes was a Spanish painter born in 1746 in Aragón, Spain who died in 1828 in Bordeaux, France. He studied under Anton Raphael Mengs and relocated to Rome before becoming the official painter for two Spanish kings. In the late 1700s, Goya suffered an unknown illness that left him deaf and reclusive. The painting depicts Goya's brother-in-law dressed in yellow pants and a white t-shirt, appearing nervous and scared with men holding guns emerging from a floor lamp, conveying Goya's own distressed state of mind when he created it.
