# Goya deeds the Quinta to his grandson in 1823 as private property, not a public mural museum Date: 1823 ## The fact On 17 September 1823 [Goya](/people/francisco-goya) transferred the Quinta del Sordo to his grandson. It is one event. ## Context A deed can protect a family and can keep a cycle off public walls. Split later Prado. Francisco Goya’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. 17 September 1823 gift/deed to Mariano. The Black Paintings travelled as private real estate. Later state museums socialised them. Private-property mural is an inequality-of-access path in 1823. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row. ## Evidence and sources Prado provenance of the Black Paintings and Britannica independently note the house’s private descent before museum transfer. Official or archival record: Museo Nacional del Prado (https://www.museodelprado.es/en; Museo Nacional del Prado). ## Significance Private title in a later national cycle is an inequality-of-access path at the deed date. A deed is not a Prado room. Private title in a later national cycle is an inequality-of-access path at the deed date. ## What is established and what is not Established: 1823 family transfer of the Quinta. Not established: that 1823 already imagined 1870s stripping of plaster. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Francisco Goya. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes. They are not a public rating. ## People - Francisco Goya: https://factrail.ai/people/francisco-goya ## Drivers - Income Inequality: https://factrail.ai/drivers/income-inequality ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Francisco-Goya - https://www.museodelprado.es/en ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/goy-quinta-sale
