EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Modo de volar (A way of flying), 1864" by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes takes us on a journey into the realm of imagination and supernatural. The etching, aquatint, drypoint, and burnishing techniques used in this artwork bring to life five figures with large fanned out wings attached to their arms and feet. These winged beings hover in the sky, each moving in different directions. What makes this piece even more intriguing is that the crown of their heads is covered by a bird's head, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. The figure in the foreground faces left, drawing our attention towards its mysterious presence. Goya's artistic genius shines through as he combines elements of romanticism and surrealism in this macabre yet mesmerizing composition. The dark night backdrop adds an eerie ambiance while highlighting the intricate details of these winged creatures. The artist's exploration of flight and aviation during a time when such concepts were still distant dreams showcases his visionary mindset. This artwork transports us to a world where boundaries are blurred between reality and fantasy. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel captivated by its haunting beauty. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend conventional norms and take us on flights of imagination beyond what seems possible.
