| - Francisco Goya was a spanish Romantic painter and printmaker. He was at one point the painter of the Spanish court.
- The new royal patron Carlos IV accepted the arrangement and let Goya to paint him and his family. What they showed were a family of inbred mental defectives with the stupid King at the head. Goya hated this part of his job, progessively painting Carlos in a variety of absurd poses to get out himself fired. When that failed, Goya painted Manuel Godoy, (the effective Prime Minister of Spain), also look equally stupid and hinted at the common gossip that Godoy was humping the Queen every time King Carlos went hunting. It was becoming something of a desperate time for Goya. It is around this time he lost his hearing too. He wrote to Beethoven in a series of letters that became known as 'The Dialogue of the Deaf'. The letters were published, though as neither Goya or Beethoven spoke the other's language and had to use base French, these letters are now considered as fakes to discredit both men. Looking for another career, Goya studied anatomy and resolved to make a new living as a surgeon. His friend the Duke of Alba volunteered one of his mistresses, a woman called Maja from Brazil. Alba said that Maja was hotter than the Amazonian rain forest and was trying to promote her new 'Venus Trim' (aka 'The Brazilian) . He also said Maja was unhappy with her 'washboard' figure and wanted some artistic improvements. Goya agreed.
