"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 themes of human folly, irrationality, and the darker aspects of human nature. The series was not published during Goya's lifetime; it was first released posthumously in 1864 by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.

The prints in "Los Proverbios" are characterized by their dark, fantastical imagery and ambiguous subject matter. Unlike Goya's earlier series, such as "Los Caprichos" or "The Disasters of War," "Los Proverbios" does not follow a clear narrative or thematic progression. Instead, each print presents a surreal, often nightmarish scene that invites multiple interpretations. 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.

Goya's technique in "Los Proverbios" is notable for its use of aquatint and etching, allowing for a wide range of tonal effects and intricate details. The prints often feature grotesque figures, fantastical creatures, and scenes of chaos and confusion, reflecting Goya's disillusionment with contemporary society and his exploration of the irrational forces that govern human behavior. The series is also marked by its innovative use of light and shadow, creating a dramatic and unsettling atmosphere.

"Los Proverbios" occupies a unique place in Goya's oeuvre, bridging the gap between his earlier satirical works and his later, more introspective "Black Paintings." The series has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis, with interpretations ranging from political allegory to psychological exploration. Despite the ambiguity of the images, "Los Proverbios" remains a powerful testament to Goya's artistic vision and his ability to capture the complexities of the human condition.
