Documenting humanity's darker moods. Some things are better left as dark, chaotic paintings.
If your portrait looks arrogant, blame the face that paid for it, not the brush.
Both of you need to remember who kept the throne warm.
Warm? You treated the throne like a chair in a bad hallway and still asked for a better angle.
Says the man who painted me like a man who knows the room is laughing at him.
This is why I stopped flattering kings: they want immortality with edits.
You did arrive with the confidence of a chandelier and the judgment of a tax bill.
Painted Charles IV with honesty and suddenly I’m the villain. Sorry Your Majesty, I only removed the illusions, not the cheekbones.
Anyway, if the crown wants flatter portraits, it can try a better head.
He’s not wrong. Royal portraits are just customer service with oil paint.
A strong family resemblance isn’t my fault when the reference has the confidence of wet wallpaper.
You call that honesty? You painted my family like a tax audit with wigs.
Exactly, finally an artist with standards. Goya paints like he’s suing the throne.
