At the age of 46, Francisco Goya becomes deaf after a febrile illness and decides to shut himself up at home. This time at home gave Goya much time to observe and criticize his own people. Goya thought that his people were interested in many superstitions that were unnecessary, but he was afraid to expose them. When Napoleon's invasion of Spain was added to this, his psychology deteriorated. He described what the war had caused and the ignorance of his people by drawing pictures on the wall. Goya, who got used to living in the same room with these paintings for years, died at the age of 82 and left behind many anonymous paintings he had drawn on the walls.
