The "Black Paintings" is the name given to that series of oils that Goya painted directly onto the walls of two of the rooms of his country house between 1819-20 and 1823 and that by which they have come to be known, albeit this overall title for them can only be authenticated for the 20th Century. Whether or not they were previously so called, we do not know. Of all Goya's works, these have, perhaps, the most immediate impact for us and this not only for the nature of their subject matter or the sombre, blackened and overpowering way in which this is conveyed but as much again for their starkly arresting visual punch and the power of their expressivity to button hole our responses across the ages
