"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 made public in 1864, long after his death, by the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid.

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," which had more overt social and political commentary, "Los Proverbios" delves into more abstract and surreal territory. The images often depict nightmarish scenes filled with strange, monstrous figures and bizarre, dream-like scenarios. This has led to various interpretations, with some scholars suggesting that the series explores themes of human folly, the absurdity of life, and the darker aspects of the human psyche.

Goya's technique in "Los Proverbios" is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its intricate detailing. The artist employed a combination of etching and aquatint to achieve a wide range of tonal effects, enhancing the eerie and otherworldly quality of the images. The prints are also marked by their dynamic compositions and the fluidity of their lines, which contribute to the sense of movement and chaos that pervades the series.

The title "Los Proverbios" suggests a connection to traditional Spanish proverbs or sayings, but the relationship between the images and any specific proverbs remains elusive. This ambiguity has only added to the intrigue and fascination surrounding the series, making it a subject of ongoing scholarly debate and interpretation. Today, "Los Proverbios" is regarded as a significant work in Goya's oeuvre, exemplifying his innovative approach to printmaking and his profound exploration of the human condition.
