Painting Description
"El De La Rollona" is a captivating and enigmatic work by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created during the late 18th century, this piece is part of Goya's extensive series of prints known as "Los Caprichos," which was published in 1799. "Los Caprichos" is a collection of 80 aquatint and etching prints that delve into the social, political, and cultural issues of Goya's time, often through the use of satire and dark humor.
"El De La Rollona," which translates to "The One with the Big Belly," is plate number 4 in the series. The print depicts a grotesque figure of a man with an exaggeratedly large belly, surrounded by smaller, almost caricature-like figures. The scene is imbued with a sense of absurdity and surrealism, characteristic of Goya's critical view of society. The title and imagery suggest a critique of gluttony, excess, or perhaps the moral and physical corruption of certain societal figures.
Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including "El De La Rollona," was groundbreaking for its time, as it boldly addressed the follies and vices of contemporary Spanish society. The artist employed a unique combination of etching and aquatint techniques to achieve a wide range of tonal effects, enhancing the dramatic and often eerie quality of the prints. The series reflects Goya's disillusionment with the Enlightenment ideals that had promised progress and rationality but often fell short in practice.
"El De La Rollona" and the other prints in "Los Caprichos" were initially met with mixed reactions. While some praised Goya's ingenuity and courage, others were unsettled by the stark and unflinching portrayal of human nature. Today, "Los Caprichos" is celebrated as a masterpiece of graphic art, and "El De La Rollona" stands out as a testament to Goya's skill in blending artistic innovation with social commentary.
