"Proverbs," also known as "Los Proverbios" or "Los Disparates," is a series of prints created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1815 and 1823. This enigmatic collection consists of 22 etchings that delve into the darker aspects of human nature and society, showcasing Goya's mastery in capturing the grotesque, the absurd, and the surreal. The series was not published during Goya's lifetime and remained relatively obscure until it was first printed in 1864 by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid.

The "Proverbs" series is often considered one of Goya's most mysterious and complex works. Unlike his earlier series, such as "Los Caprichos" or "The Disasters of War," which had more explicit social and political commentary, "Proverbs" is characterized by its ambiguous and often cryptic imagery. The prints feature fantastical scenes populated by bizarre creatures, anthropomorphic animals, and human figures engaged in inexplicable activities. This surreal quality has led to various interpretations, with some scholars suggesting that the series reflects Goya's disillusionment with contemporary society, while others see it as an exploration of universal themes such as folly, madness, and the human condition.

Goya's technical prowess is evident in the intricate details and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow that define the "Proverbs" series. He employed a combination of etching, aquatint, and drypoint techniques to achieve a rich tonal range and a sense of depth in his compositions. The prints are notable for their dynamic compositions and the fluidity of Goya's line work, which convey a sense of movement and emotional intensity.

The "Proverbs" series remains a subject of ongoing scholarly interest and debate, as its meanings are not easily decipherable. It stands as a testament to Goya's innovative spirit and his ability to push the boundaries of traditional printmaking. Through "Proverbs," Goya invites viewers to confront the irrational and the uncanny, challenging them to question the nature of reality and the human psyche.
