"Atropos (The Fates)" is a painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created between 1819 and 1823. This work is part of Goya's series of 14 Black Paintings, which he painted directly onto the walls of his house, known as the Quinta del Sordo (House of the Deaf Man). The series is characterized by its dark themes and somber tones, reflecting Goya's bleak outlook on humanity and the turbulent socio-political climate of Spain during that period.

The painting depicts the three Fates of Greek mythology—Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos—who were believed to control the destiny of every human being. Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures it, and Atropos cuts it, determining the moment of death. In Goya's interpretation, the figures are rendered with a haunting and almost grotesque quality, emphasizing the inevitability and often arbitrary nature of fate. The dark, muted palette and the intense, almost surreal expressions of the figures contribute to the painting's unsettling atmosphere.

Goya's Black Paintings were not intended for public display; they were a deeply personal project, reflecting his inner turmoil and disillusionment. The artist had suffered a severe illness in 1792 that left him deaf, and the later years of his life were marked by political instability in Spain, including the Peninsular War and the subsequent repression under Ferdinand VII. These experiences profoundly influenced the tone and subject matter of the Black Paintings.

"Atropos (The Fates)" was transferred to canvas in 1874, more than fifty years after Goya's death, and is now housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. The painting, along with the rest of the Black Paintings, remains a powerful testament to Goya's genius and his ability to convey the darkest aspects of the human condition through his art.
