Blind singer

'Blind singer' is an evocative painting by Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes that exemplifies his contribution to the artistic movement Romanticism. A leader in the art world, Goya was prolific in his creations, ranging from portraits to etchings. Goya illustrated 'Blind singer' using oil on paper, bringing out the human conditions and brutality of life, a characteristic trait of his mid-career. This painting, like his other works during this phase, reflected an intense satirical undertone. 'Blind singer' also signaled a transition in his style that would later bloom into his renowned Black Paintings.
