"Two Old Men" is a painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created during the latter part of his career. This work is part of Goya's series of "Black Paintings" (Pinturas Negras), which he painted directly onto the walls of his house, known as the Quinta del Sordo (House of the Deaf Man), between 1819 and 1823. The series is characterized by its dark themes and somber tones, reflecting Goya's bleak outlook on humanity and the turbulent socio-political climate of Spain during that period.

"Two Old Men" depicts two elderly figures, one of whom appears to be whispering into the ear of the other. The painting is notable for its stark use of chiaroscuro, with the figures emerging from a dark, undefined background. The expressions on their faces are haunting and ambiguous, suggesting a range of emotions from fear and despair to conspiratorial secrecy. The work is executed with loose, expressive brushstrokes, a hallmark of Goya's late style, which conveys a sense of immediacy and psychological depth.

The "Black Paintings" were not intended for public display and were only discovered after Goya's death. They were transferred to canvas in 1874 under the supervision of Salvador Martínez Cubells, a restorer at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where they are currently housed. The series, including "Two Old Men," has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis and interpretation, with various theories proposed about their meaning and significance. Some art historians view the paintings as a reflection of Goya's personal fears and anxieties, possibly exacerbated by his deteriorating health and the political instability of Spain. Others interpret them as a broader commentary on the human condition, exploring themes of madness, mortality, and the darker aspects of human nature.

"Two Old Men" remains a powerful and enigmatic work within Goya's oeuvre, exemplifying his ability to convey complex emotional and psychological states through his innovative use of form and color. The painting continues to captivate and intrigue viewers, offering a profound insight into the mind of one of Spain's greatest artists.
