EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Disparates (Los Proverbios), ca. 1816-23 (published 1864)" by Francisco Goya is a powerful etching that encapsulates the artist's unique vision and satirical commentary on human folly and cruelty during the early 19th century in Spain. This print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, portrays a scene filled with anger, violence, and warfare. Goya's mastery of his craft is evident in this work as he skillfully captures the intense emotions of his subjects. The central figure, an angry man wielding a pike, represents the embodiment of fury and aggression. Surrounding him are other men who seem to be caught up in their own foolishness or engaged in acts of violence. Through this thought-provoking image, Goya invites viewers to reflect upon the dark aspects of human nature and society. His use of stark black and white contrasts emphasizes the harsh realities depicted within the artwork. As one explores "Disparates" it becomes clear that Goya aims to expose societal vices such as war, cruelty, and senseless violence. By employing satire as his tool for critique, he challenges conventional wisdom while offering profound insights into human behavior. This print serves as a testament to Francisco Goya's enduring legacy as an artist who fearlessly confronted social issues through his artistry. It stands not only as a historical document but also as a reminder that our collective past can offer valuable lessons for navigating
