I have seen Goya's paintings in the Prado in Madrid, and I had seen most of his engravings as well. We made a visit to the Museo Goya in Zaragoza which houses almost his entire collection of engravings. It's in a beautiful Renassaince building and has sections about art in Aragón both before and after his work. There are only a few paintings but almost all the prints of Los Caprichos and the Tauromaquía as well as his series on the horrors of war. I couldn't look at all of them with equal attention because they're so intense, it was hard to stomach. The museum has a YouTube channel with short descriptive video clips on almost all the works in the museum, in French and English as well as Spanish.
This lecture puts Goya's work in context:
