EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, titled "Ridiculous dream" is a thought-provoking piece from his series of Proverbs. Created between 1819 and 1823, this particular print was published in 1864 and measures 24.7x35.8 cm. Goya's mastery as an artist shines through in this intricate composition. The image depicts a huddle of figures gathered around a branch, seemingly engaged in deep conversation or contemplation. Each character embodies a unique expression and posture, inviting viewers to decipher the meaning behind their interactions. As with many of Goya's works, symbolism plays a significant role here. The title suggests that what unfolds before us may be absurd or fantastical, challenging our perceptions and understanding of dreams themselves. The artist's use of etching techniques adds depth and texture to the scene while emphasizing the fine details within each figure. This meticulous craftsmanship showcases Goya's skillful hand as he captures both the physicality and emotional essence of his subjects. "Ridiculous dream" is just one example among Goya's extensive body of work that explores human nature, societal norms, and the complexities of existence itself. Through his artistry, he invites us to question our own realities and reflect on the profound wisdom hidden within everyday experiences. This remarkable print now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its enigmatic beauty and timeless relevance.
