1746 1828 Aquatint Burnished Caprichos Etching Francisco Goya Lucientes Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image, titled "Until Death" and created by the renowned artist Francisco de Goya, is Plate 55 of his series Los Caprichos. The etching and burnished aquatint technique used in this piece adds a sense of depth and texture to the artwork.
Goya's work often delves into dark themes and societal commentary, and this print is no exception. The figure in the center appears to be a skeleton or death personified, holding a lantern as if leading someone through the darkness. The surrounding figures seem to be in various states of distress or fear, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the scene.
The use of light and shadow in this print creates a dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye towards the central figure. The intricate details in each character's expression add layers of emotion to the composition.
As one of Goya's most famous works, "Until Death" continues to captivate viewers with its powerful imagery and thought-provoking subject matter. It serves as a reminder of our mortality and challenges us to contemplate our own fears and anxieties about death.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history and delve into Goya's world through his masterful storytelling techniques.
