Painting Description
"Los Proverbios," also known as "Los Disparates," is a series of 22 prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1815 and 1823. These works are considered some of Goya's most enigmatic and complex creations, reflecting his deepening preoccupation with the irrational and the grotesque. The series was not published during Goya's lifetime; it was first issued by the Royal Academy of San Fernando in 1864, long after the artist's death.
The prints in "Los Proverbios" are characterized by their dark, fantastical imagery and ambiguous themes. Unlike Goya's earlier series, such as "Los Caprichos" or "The Disasters of War," "Los Proverbios" does not follow a clear narrative or thematic structure. Instead, each print presents a surreal scene that often defies straightforward interpretation. The titles of the prints, which were assigned posthumously, do little to clarify their meaning, adding to the series' mysterious allure.
Art historians have proposed various interpretations of "Los Proverbios," suggesting that the series explores themes of human folly, superstition, and the absurdity of social conventions. The prints are marked by Goya's masterful use of chiaroscuro, with stark contrasts between light and dark that heighten the sense of drama and unease. The figures in the prints are often grotesque and distorted, embodying the artist's vision of a world gone awry.
"Los Proverbios" is a testament to Goya's innovative spirit and his willingness to confront the darker aspects of human nature. The series stands as a significant contribution to the Romantic movement and continues to captivate and puzzle viewers and scholars alike. Through these prints, Goya delves into the subconscious, offering a haunting reflection on the complexities and contradictions of the human condition.
