1746 1828 Francisco Goya Lucientes Paso Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Children's Game: El Paso," transports us back in time to the 19th century, specifically to the year 1828. The image, created by the renowned Spanish painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, showcases a simple yet intriguing moment in the lives of children during that era. El Paso, meaning "the pass" in Spanish, was a significant historical location along the ancient route connecting the Mediterranean world with the Americas. This painting depicts a group of children engaged in a traditional game, likely a popular pastime in El Paso during Goya's time. The children, dressed in simple clothing, exhibit a range of emotions as they play, from intense focus to joyful laughter. The oil painting, which measures approximately 31.5 x 23.8 cm, is a testament to Goya's mastery of the medium. His use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes brings the scene to life, allowing us to almost hear the children's laughter and feel the warmth of the sun on our faces. The historical significance of this painting lies not only in its portrayal of a simple children's game but also in the context of its creation. Goya, a leading figure in the Spanish art scene, created this work during a time of political instability and social upheaval in Spain. The painting serves as a reminder of the resilience and innocence of children, even in the face of adversity. This print, with its rich history and artistic merit, is a must-have for any history or art enthusiast. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with a time long gone and appreciate the beauty and simplicity of a children's game in El Paso, as depicted by the legendary Francisco de Goya y Lucientes.
