EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, titled "Funereal Riddle" transports viewers to a realm where the boundaries between life and death blur. Plate 18 of his renowned series "Proverbs" created between 1819 and 1823 but published in 1864, showcases Goya's mastery of capturing the macabre. In this haunting image measuring 24.4x35.8 cm, we are confronted with a spectral scene that evokes both fascination and unease. A spirit-like figure hovers above a corpse, its ethereal presence hinting at the afterlife or perhaps an otherworldly existence beyond our comprehension. Goya's engraving skillfully combines elements of fantasy and horror as he introduces us to monstrous creatures lurking in the shadows. These fabulous animals seem to embody both wonder and terror simultaneously, challenging our perception of reality. As we delve into this artwork, we are reminded of the power art holds in exploring themes such as mortality and spirituality. Goya's ability to convey complex emotions through his brushstrokes is evident here; he invites us to contemplate our own mortality while contemplating these fictional characters that inhabit his imagination. "Funereal Riddle" serves as a testament to Goya's artistic genius and his ability to create thought-provoking works that continue to captivate audiences centuries later. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us access into Goya's world—a world where spirits roam freely, monsters lurk in every corner
