Hola querido hiver.

El 30 de marzo de 1746 nació Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, uno de los pintores más revolucionarios de su época cuyo arte sigue inspirando en todas las artes. Su familia vivía en Zaragoza, pero ese año se habían trasladado a 40 kilómetros hasta Fuendetodos motivos laborales de su padre. Y allí nació y vivió sus primeros años hasta que regresaron de nuevo a la capital aragonesa.

Como en aquella época este tipo de patrimonio no se valoraba, llegó un momento en el que ni se conocía que fue aquí donde nació Goya. Hasta que un grupo de pintores encabezado por Ignacio Zuloaga investigó e identificó esta casa como su lugar natal. Un tiempo después con motivo del centenario de su muerte se estableció una Junta que promovió su conservación.

En la Guerra Civil el edificio fue parcialmente destruido y saqueado, por lo que no se conserva ningún mueble original. Pero se restauró por completo y se le devolvió el aspecto que tenía con muebles originales de la época aunque pertenecieran a otras casas, lo que hace de esta visita una oportunidad para conocer cómo se vivía en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII.

Lo primero que encontramos al acceder a la casa es una pequeña exposición temporal dedicada a la visita a la localidad del compositor Manuel de Falla, realizada en 1917. Las fotografías de ese día son una forma excelente de trasladarnos a ese día, como si estuviéramos participando como uno más.

Pero aquí venimos a ver la casa, y a eso voy. Nos recibe un pequeño zaguán distribuidor. A la derecha hay una pequeña habitación que hacía de despensa y que es donde estaba la exposición temporal, a la izquierda junto a la puerta tenemos la escalera y el espacio que queda bajo ella se aprovecha para almacenar vasijas y cántaros de cerámica. Al frente se abre otra estancia más grande que sería la cocina. Aquí encontramos el hogar, con unos bancos de obra y útiles de cocina.

Frente al hogar se puede ver mobiliario, alacenas o mesas de obra y hasta nos podemos asomar por la ventana para disfrutar de unas vistas similares a las que tendría la familia de Goya en su época.

IMG_2783.JPG

IMG_2784.JPG

En la segunda planta están los dormitorios. Aquí me fijé en los utensilios que yo he llegado a utilizar de niña cuando visitábamos a mis abuelos en la finca donde trabajaban como guardeses. ¿Sabes para qué sirven?

IMG_2785.JPG

IMG_2791.JPG

Me gustó mucho este pequeño armario. Tenía pinta de ser el más valioso de la casa. A pesar de su mal estado se veía lujoso. Y en un lateral tenía pegada una jaculatoria coetánea a Goya, puesto que Pío VII fue Papa entre 1800 y 1823. Me gustaría saber qué pegamento utilizaron para que haya aguantado tanto, jeje.

IMG_2786.JPG

IMG_2788.JPG

Hay otra pequeña alcoba con una cama más lujosa. Tenemos otra ventana que da a la fachada principal, sobre la puerta de entrada. Nos asomamos a la plaza que se abre frente a la casa. Se ve el gran busto de Goya, obra de José Gonzalvo Vives, el soportal donde estaba el lavadero municipal y las torres de la iglesia del pueblo.

IMG_2792.JPG

IMG_2793.JPG

IMG_2794.JPG

IMG_2796.JPG

Sobre la cocina encontramos una habitación diáfana cuyas paredes se aprovechan para enseñarnos más aspectos sobre la relación de Goya con Fuendetodos. Lo más destacado es una imagen del armario relicario cuyas puertas pintó Goya tanto por dentro como por fuera y añadió un trampantojo alrededor para destacarlo, siendo su primera pintura mural. Desgraciadamente se destruyó en la Guerra Civil.

También se reproducen fotografías de la partida de bautismo de Goya, la pila bautismal en la que fue bautizado (que sí se conserva en la iglesia del pueblo), y el retablo que doró el padre de Goya y que fue incendiado en 1936.

IMG_2799.JPG

IMG_2790.JPG

IMG_2800.JPG

IMG_2808.JPG

La tercera y última planta se dedicaba a granero, por lo que no tiene mobiliario. Solo nos queda bajar de nuevo las escaleras para salir al exterior, donde nos despide una estatua de Goya de tamaño natural, obra del escultor y pintor Antonio López en colaboración con Andrés García Ibáñez.

Hasta la próxima publicación. Mientras tanto, ¡cuídate!

Hi, dear hiver.

On 30 March 1746, Francisco de Goya y Lucientes was born; he was one of the most revolutionary painters of his time, whose art continues to inspire all the arts. His family lived in Zaragoza, but that year they had moved 40 kilometres to Fuendetodos due to his father’s work. It was there that he was born and spent his early years until they returned to the Aragonese capital.

IMG_2807.JPG

(Tr: In this humble house, to the honour of the nation and the wonder of the art world, the distinguished painter Francisco Goya y Lucientes was born. 31 March 1746 – 16 April 1828. In admiration of him, everyone paid this tribute to his enduring memory. 16 April 1913)

IMG_2806.JPG

As this type of heritage was not valued at the time, there came a point when it was not even known that Goya had been born here. That was until a group of painters led by Ignacio Zuloaga carried out research and identified this house as his birthplace. Some time later, to mark the centenary of his death, a committee was set up to promote its conservation.

During the Spanish Civil War, the building was partially destroyed and looted, which is why none of the original furniture has survived. However, it was fully restored and returned to its original appearance with period furniture, even though some pieces came from other houses, making a visit here an opportunity to discover what life was like in the second half of the 18th century.

IMG_2770.JPG

IMG_2769.JPG

IMG_2771.JPG

IMG_2772.JPG

The first thing we come across upon entering the house is a small temporary exhibition dedicated to the visit to the town by the composer Manuel de Falla, which took place in 1917. The photographs from that day are an excellent way of transporting us back to that moment, as if we were there taking part ourselves.

IMG_2775.JPG

IMG_2777.JPG

IMG_2779.JPG

But we’ve come here to see the house, and that’s what I’ll get to. We’re greeted by a small entrance hall. To the right is a small room that used to serve as a larder and which is where the temporary exhibition was held; to the left, next to the door, is the staircase, and the space beneath it is used to store ceramic pots and jugs. Straight ahead is another, larger room, which would have been the kitchen. Here we find the hearth, with some built-in benches and kitchen utensils.

IMG_2780.JPG

IMG_2781.JPG

IMG_2782.JPG

In front of the fireplace, you can see furniture, cupboards and workbenches, and you can even look out of the window to enjoy views similar to those Goya’s family would have had in his day.

IMG_2783.JPG

IMG_2784.JPG

The bedrooms are on the second floor. Here, I noticed the utensils that I used to use as a child when we visited my grandparents at the estate where they worked as caretakers. Do you know what they’re used for?

IMG_2785.JPG

IMG_2791.JPG

(Tr: PRAYER. Blessed be your purity, And may it be so for ever, For God Himself delights In such graceful beauty. To you, heavenly Princess, Holy Virgin Mary, I offer, from this day forth, My soul, my life and my heart. Look upon me with compassion. Do not forsake me, my Mother. Our Most Holy Father Pius VII granted thirty-seven years and four hundred days of Indulgence for every time this Prayer is said to the Queen of Angels.)

I really liked this little cupboard. It looked as though it was the most valuable item in the house. Despite its poor condition, it looked luxurious. And on one side there was a prayer card stuck on, dating from Goya’s time, as Pius VII was Pope between 1800 and 1823. I’d love to know what sort of glue they used for it to have lasted so long, hehe.

IMG_2786.JPG

IMG_2788.JPG

There is another small bedroom with a more luxurious bed. There is another window overlooking the main façade, above the front door. We look out onto the square in front of the house. You can see the large bust of Goya, sculpted by José Gonzalvo Vives, the arcade where the municipal washhouse used to be, and the towers of the village church.

IMG_2792.JPG

IMG_2793.JPG

IMG_2794.JPG

IMG_2796.JPG

Above the kitchen is an open-plan room, the walls of which are used to reveal further aspects of Goya’s connection with Fuendetodos. The highlight is an image of the reliquary cabinet, the doors of which Goya painted both inside and out, adding a trompe-l’oeil effect around them to make it stand out; this was his first mural painting. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the Civil War.

There are also reproductions of photographs of Goya’s baptism certificate, the baptismal font in which he was baptised (which is still preserved in the village church), and the altarpiece gilded by Goya’s father, which was destroyed by fire in 1936.

IMG_2799.JPG

IMG_2790.JPG

IMG_2800.JPG

IMG_2808.JPG

The third and top floor was used as a granary, so it contains no furniture. All that remains is to go back down the stairs to the outside, where we are bid farewell by a life-size statue of Goya, the work of the sculptor and painter Antonio López in collaboration with Andrés García Ibáñez.

Until the next post. In the meantime, take care!

  • OMG! Thank you so much for sharing this tour. Beautiful photos.

  • @murad24(40)· 3d

    I loved the detail about that little cupboard being the most valuable thing in the house — it says so much about how ordinary a home this was, even for someone like Goya. And knowing the house was partly destroyed and looted in the Civil War makes it even more moving that you can still walk through it today. Was the statue of Goya outside the first thing that caught your eye, or was it the stone facade?
