"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 released 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, which have led to various interpretations by art historians and critics. Unlike Goya's earlier series, such as "Los Caprichos" and "The Disasters of War," "Los Proverbios" does not adhere to a clear narrative or moralizing intent. Instead, the images are surreal and often nightmarish, populated by monstrous figures, spectral apparitions, and scenes of chaos and confusion. This departure from conventional representation underscores Goya's exploration of the human psyche and the irrational forces that govern behavior and society.

The title "Los Proverbios" suggests a connection to traditional Spanish proverbs, which are typically concise statements of wisdom or moral lessons. However, the relationship between the prints and any specific proverbs remains elusive, adding to the series' mystique. Some scholars propose that the works reflect Goya's disillusionment with contemporary political and social conditions in Spain, particularly in the aftermath of the Peninsular War and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy.

Goya's innovative use of etching and aquatint techniques in "Los Proverbios" enhances the dramatic and eerie quality of the images. The prints exhibit a mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and movement that draws viewers into their unsettling world. "Los Proverbios" stands as a testament to Goya's artistic genius and his ability to probe the darker aspects of human experience, making it a significant and enduring contribution to the canon of Western art.
