6 artists who lived extremely traumatic lives

One of the most famous Spanish artists’, Francisco Goya created some real pieces of art. And although his early paintings were bright, joyful, and revolutionary, there came a phase of ‘Black Paintings’ in his lifetime, that were made a part of the walls of his home.

Goya created the ‘Black Paintings’, a series of deeply disturbing artworks painted directly onto the walls of his home. These haunting images, filled with despair and madness, featured witchy figures, ‘Saturn devouring his Son’, ‘Old men eating Soup’, and more, and were evidence of his declining mental state and deep sense of hopelessness.
