Playing at Giants
by GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de, Oil on canvas, 137 x 104 cm
Goya went from Saragossa to Madrid, where, helped by his brother-in-law Francisco Bayeu, from 1775 to 1792 he worked on cartoons for the tapestry factory. He depicted bright, colourful, popular themes, evoking the Madrid of the time, such as the Playing at Giants.
