"Quien Se Pondrá El Cascabel Al Gato?" (Who Will Bell the Cat?) is a notable work by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his series known as "Los Proverbios" (The Proverbs), also referred to as "Los Disparates" (The Follies). This series, produced in the later years of Goya's life, is characterized by its enigmatic and often darkly satirical themes, reflecting the artist's critical view of society, politics, and human nature.

"Quien Se Pondrá El Cascabel Al Gato?" is a print that delves into the proverb of the same name, which originates from Aesop's fable "The Mice in Council." The story tells of a group of mice who decide that the best way to protect themselves from the cat is to place a bell around its neck, so they can hear it coming. However, the plan fails because no mouse is brave enough to undertake the dangerous task. Goya's interpretation of this proverb is infused with his characteristic ambiguity and layered symbolism, inviting various interpretations.

The artwork is executed in Goya's distinctive etching and aquatint technique, which allows for a rich interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the dramatic and often eerie atmosphere of the scene. The composition typically features a group of figures engaged in a tense and futile discussion, embodying the themes of fear, indecision, and the often paralyzing nature of collective action in the face of danger.

Goya's "Los Proverbios" series, including "Quien Se Pondrá El Cascabel Al Gato?", was not published during his lifetime. The prints were first published posthumously in 1864 by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. The series is considered one of Goya's most profound and mysterious works, offering a window into the artist's complex worldview and his critique of the social and political issues of his time.

Through "Quien Se Pondrá El Cascabel Al Gato?", Goya continues to challenge viewers with his incisive commentary on human nature and societal dynamics, making it a significant piece in the study of his oeuvre and the broader context of Spanish art and culture.
