Francisco Bayeu y Subias

Since this is my very last Spanish blog, I have decided to write about my favorite artist who turns out to be Spanish.  His name is Francisco Bayeu and he has painted some of the greatest pieces of art.  The theme to many of his painting revolve around historical and religious events.  Francisco was born March 9,  in Zaragoza(also called Saragossa in English) which is in Spain.  At one time he had the prestigious title of court painter to King Charles the III of Spain.  He was also named a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.    He had a lot to do with the Neoclassic style in his time and definitely set the standards high.
