Plate 6 from the Disparates - It is amazing - and we were made by God, ca. 1816-23 (published 1864)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Francisco Goya, titled "Plate 6 from the Disparates" takes us on a journey into the depths of human folly and cruelty. Created in Spain during the early 19th century, this artwork delves into the dark recesses of our collective consciousness. In this scene, Goya presents a powerful satire on violence and warfare. A furious man brandishes a pike with anger burning in his eyes, embodying the destructive nature of humanity's proclivity for conflict. The artist's masterful use of etching techniques brings out every line and shadow, intensifying the sense of fury within this composition. Goya's dream-like depiction transports us to a world where foolishness reigns supreme. The concept behind this print challenges our perception of ourselves as creations made by God; it questions how such cruelty can exist within beings supposedly blessed with divine origins. As we observe this image at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, it serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements or societal progressions over time, violence remains an intrinsic part of human heritage. Goya's work urges us to reflect upon our own capacity for both good and evil while provoking contemplation about war’s devastating consequences. Through his artistry and profound insight into human nature, Francisco Goya continues to captivate
