"Los Proverbios," also known as "Los Disparates," is a series of 22 prints created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1815 and 1823. These works are part of Goya's later period and are characterized by their enigmatic and often darkly satirical nature. The series was not published during Goya's lifetime and remained largely unknown until it was posthumously published by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in 1864.

The prints in "Los Proverbios" are notable for their departure from the more straightforward social and political commentary found in Goya's earlier series, such as "Los Caprichos" and "The Disasters of War." Instead, "Los Proverbios" delves into more abstract and surreal themes, often featuring grotesque and fantastical imagery that defies easy interpretation. The ambiguity of these prints has led to various interpretations, with some scholars suggesting that they reflect Goya's disillusionment with society and the human condition, while others see them as a critique of superstition and irrationality.

Each print in the series is imbued with a sense of mystery and often depicts scenes that are both dreamlike and nightmarish. Figures are frequently distorted and placed in bizarre, unsettling scenarios that challenge the viewer's understanding. The titles of the prints, which were assigned posthumously, often reference Spanish proverbs or sayings, adding another layer of complexity to their interpretation.

Goya's mastery of etching and aquatint techniques is evident in "Los Proverbios," where he skillfully manipulates light and shadow to enhance the dramatic effect of each scene. The series stands as a testament to Goya's innovative spirit and his ability to push the boundaries of printmaking.

"Los Proverbios" remains a subject of fascination and study for art historians and enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of Spain's most influential and enigmatic artists. The series continues to be celebrated for its artistic brilliance and its profound, if often perplexing, commentary on the human experience.
