"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 in 1828.

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 the realm of the surreal and the allegorical. The scenes often depict nightmarish visions, bizarre creatures, and disconcerting juxtapositions, challenging viewers to decipher their meanings.

Scholars have proposed various interpretations of the series, suggesting that Goya was exploring themes of human folly, superstition, and the absurdity of societal norms. The title "Los Proverbios" suggests a connection to traditional Spanish proverbs, which often encapsulate folk wisdom and moral lessons. However, the exact relationship between the images and specific proverbs remains elusive, adding to the series' mystique.

Goya's technical mastery is evident in the intricate etching and aquatint techniques used in "Los Proverbios." The prints exhibit a remarkable range of tonal variation and textural detail, enhancing their dramatic and unsettling effect. The series stands as a testament to Goya's innovative spirit and his ability to probe the depths of the human psyche through his art.

"Los Proverbios" occupies a significant place in Goya's oeuvre, representing a culmination of his lifelong engagement with themes of irrationality and the darker aspects of human nature. The series continues to captivate and puzzle art historians and viewers alike, offering a profound and haunting glimpse into the mind of one of Spain's greatest artists.
