For example, Goya’s “[Black Paintings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Paintings)” were originally murals painted on the walls of his home, but were later transferred to canvas. How did they do that?

That doesn’t sound like a thing that’s done often but theoretically you adhere a material to the surface to hold it all together in one piece and right place (like a thin layer of paper and using adhesive that is possible to clean with a solvent thats not affecting the paint layer, like water based glue is usually alright for oil paintings). Then remove the layer you want to remove and transfer the painting layers to the intended surface. The removal is really dependent on what kind of materials the original work is made off/on. I haven’t read about any specific case where this has been executed but that’s how I imagine it would go base don my meager restoration experience. It’s really not a thing that would be performed if not for last resort. I have seen whole walls relocated tho 😀
