"Disparate General (allgemeine Torheit)" is one of the enigmatic and haunting works by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created during the later years of his life, this piece is part of Goya's series known as "Los Disparates" or "The Follies." The series, which consists of 22 prints, was produced between 1815 and 1823 but was not published until 1864, long after Goya's death. The prints are characterized by their dark, surreal, and often nightmarish imagery, reflecting the artist's deepening pessimism and disillusionment with society, politics, and human nature.

"Disparate General" stands out within the series for its complex composition and the ambiguity of its subject matter. The title itself, which translates to "General Folly" or "General Madness," suggests a critique of the widespread irrationality and chaos Goya perceived in the world around him. The print features a central figure, often interpreted as a representation of authority or power, surrounded by a chaotic assembly of grotesque and fantastical figures. The scene is imbued with a sense of disorder and confusion, emblematic of the broader themes of madness and folly that permeate the series.

Goya's technique in "Disparate General" showcases his mastery of etching and aquatint, allowing for a rich interplay of light and shadow that enhances the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the work. The use of stark contrasts and intricate details draws the viewer into a world where reality and fantasy blur, inviting multiple interpretations and reflections on the human condition.

The "Disparates" series, including "Disparate General," is often seen as a precursor to modernist movements, with its bold departure from classical representation and its exploration of the subconscious and the irrational. Goya's work in this series continues to be studied and admired for its innovative approach and its profound commentary on the darker aspects of human experience.
