Painting Description
"A Pilgrimage to San Isidro (detail) 2" is one of the renowned frescoes painted by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828). This work is part of a larger series known as the Black Paintings, a group of fourteen murals that Goya painted directly onto the walls of his house, the Quinta del Sordo (Deaf Man's Villa), near Madrid, between 1819 and 1823. The Black Paintings are considered some of Goya's most enigmatic and powerful works, reflecting his disillusionment with society and his preoccupation with themes of madness, fantasy, and the irrational.
The fresco depicts a procession of figures making their way to the hermitage of San Isidro, a place of pilgrimage on the feast day of Isidore the Laborer, the patron saint of Madrid. The scene is characterized by a sense of chaos and disarray, with the pilgrims appearing in a range of expressions and attitudes, from the devout to the derisive. Goya's use of murky tones and shadowy figures contributes to the overall somber and mysterious atmosphere of the painting, which is typical of the Black Paintings series.
Originally painted in oil on the plaster walls of his home, "A Pilgrimage to San Isidro" and the other Black Paintings were later transferred to canvas after Goya's death in order to preserve them. This complex and delicate process was carried out by the restorer Salvador Martínez Cubells, commissioned by the Baron Émile d'Erlanger, a banker of French origin, who intended to sell them at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. The paintings were eventually donated to the Spanish state and are now housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
As with many of Goya's later works, "A Pilgrimage to San Isidro" is interpreted as a reflection of the artist's embittered view of humanity and his personal struggles with his own mortality and the turbulent society in which he lived. The Black Paintings, including this fresco, remain some of Goya's most studied and discussed works, offering a profound insight into the artist's psyche and the dark undercurrents of the human condition.
