"A Pilgrimage to San Isidro" (La romería de San Isidro) is one of the most celebrated works by the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828). Created between 1819 and 1823, this painting is part of the series known as the "Black Paintings" (Pinturas negras), 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.

The "Black Paintings" are noted for their somber palette, complex symbolism, and their reflection of Goya's pessimistic view of humanity. "A Pilgrimage to San Isidro," which measures 140 x 438 cm, is one of the largest murals in the series. It depicts a crowd of people making their way to the hermitage of San Isidro, the patron saint of Madrid, on his feast day. However, unlike traditional depictions of religious pilgrimages that convey a sense of piety and communal joy, Goya's interpretation is haunting and satirical. The figures are portrayed with grotesque features and appear to be engaged in a frenzied, almost carnival-like procession, rather than a solemn religious observance.

The painting is particularly noted for its dark tones and the use of loose, expressive brushwork, which contribute to the overall sense of chaos and disillusionment. The work is seen as a commentary on the social and political turmoil of Spain during Goya's lifetime, including the Peninsular War and the subsequent repression under the restored Bourbon monarchy.

After Goya left Spain for France in 1824, the "Black Paintings" remained on the walls of the Quinta del Sordo until they were transferred to canvas by the restorer Salvador Martínez Cubells in 1874. "A Pilgrimage to San Isidro" is now housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration, offering insight into Goya's late style and his profound reflections on the human condition.
