Francisco Goya: career timeline

Spanish · 1746–1828 · Few works by Francisco Goya have a recorded creation date (28 of 139), so works are grouped by the decade they were sold, not made. Each work is shown once, even when it sold more than once.

Francisco Goya: works at auction by decade the work was sold (creation dates are not recorded for most of these works). Each work counted once; medians use sold works only, in US dollars.
