EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Francisco Goya's masterpiece, "Disparate de tontos (Fool's folly)" created in 1877. The etching, aquatint, and drypoint techniques used by the artist bring this surreal scene to life. Measuring 29x43 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. In this intriguing composition, four bulls are suspended in mid-air, defying gravity and logic. The bull on the right appears upside down with its legs splayed outwards while the central bull faces towards the left. Behind them, another bull gazes directly at the observer. With no background details present, all attention is drawn to these enigmatic creatures. Goya's unique artistic style shines through as he combines elements of humor and macabre into one image. The floating farm animals cavort amidst a bizarre and sinister atmosphere that leaves viewers captivated by their sheer presence. As a renowned Spanish painter from Europe's Romantic era, Goya showcases his mastery of printmaking in this piece. His ability to evoke emotions through intricate engravings is evident here as he explores themes of foolishness and folly. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Goya's genius up close while highlighting his fascination with caprices and absurdity within society. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this remarkable artwork for all to enjoy without commercial use restrictions
