Only the barest of facts are known about Goya’s first 25 years of life. These early years remain little more than a vague shadow. He was born on March 30, 1746, in the small village of Fuendetodos, located near the capital of the former kingdom of Aragon, Saragossa, in northeast Spain. Saragossa was so close, in fact, that “at times a breeze would bring the sound of [its] church bells.”7 The small, simple house in which he was born, No. 18 Calle de Alfondiga, still stands today. The house was a plain cottage hut with dark, heavy stone walls punctuated by small windows.
