"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 pessimism and disillusionment with society, politics, and human nature. The series was not published during Goya's lifetime; it was first issued in 1864 by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, 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" and "The Disasters of War," "Los Proverbios" does not have clear moral or political messages. Instead, the images are surreal and often grotesque, featuring nightmarish scenes that defy straightforward interpretation. The series includes depictions of witches, fantastical creatures, and bizarre human-animal hybrids, all rendered in Goya's distinctive, expressive style.

The title "Los Proverbios" suggests a connection to traditional Spanish proverbs or sayings, but the relationship between the images and any specific proverbs remains unclear. Some scholars believe that the prints may be a critique of superstition, irrationality, and the darker aspects of human nature, while others see them as a reflection of Goya's personal fears and anxieties during a turbulent period in Spanish history.

Goya's innovative use of aquatint and etching techniques in "Los Proverbios" demonstrates his mastery of printmaking and his ability to convey complex, often disturbing emotions through his art. The series remains a subject of extensive scholarly analysis and interpretation, contributing to Goya's reputation as one of the most profound and influential artists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
