EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the haunting and surreal world of Francisco Goya's "Who Would Have Thought It! (Quien lo creyera!), 1794-1796". This etching and aquatint from his renowned Los Caprichos series showcases Goya's mastery in depicting nightmarish scenes that delve into the depths of human agony. In this particular artwork, figures writhing in agony are juxtaposed with monstrous bears, creating a dream-like atmosphere filled with horror and despair. The night hags, with their twisted forms and agonized expressions, add an extra layer of terrifying beauty to the composition. Goya's use of etching and aquatint techniques brings out the intricate details of each figure, emphasizing their contorted poses and agitated movements. The artist skillfully portrays a sense of motion within stillness, making it almost palpable for viewers. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be captivated by its unsettling nature. It serves as a reminder that even our darkest nightmares can manifest themselves in unexpected ways. Goya challenges us to confront our fears head-on through his artistry. This piece is housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. Its acquisition was made possible through the generous gift from Carnegie Inc. , allowing audiences to experience firsthand Goya's profound exploration into the realms of human suffering and animalistic instincts.
