Portrait of Francisco Goya, Vicente López y Portaña (1772–1850)
"To live to the age of eighty-two, as Goya did, was a great stroke of biological luck. To do so while staying sane and working right up till the end-for there is no evidence of senile decay or dementia in Goya's last years, although physical infirmities did, of course, take their toll-was well-nigh miraculous. He was a tough, tenacious old bird" R. Hughes, Goya.
