He also captured Pedro de Zaldivia, a lay Franciscan brother who stopped by the house while begging for alms.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">When the humble monk ended up subduing his captor, the story swept through Spain in daily newspapers, songs, and popular prints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">This small, lively painting belongs to a series of six, which is often likened to a modern-day comic strip. This is the climactic scene, and Goya depicts the bandit\u2019s degrading and humorous downfall with broad, quick brushwork that dispenses with unnecessary detail to pinpoint the essential drama of the moment.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Goya\u2019s seemingly boundless imagination frequently drew him to scenes of daily life, superstitions, and traditional pastimes that are darkly comic in tone and feel quite modern.

It captivates me in ways that few works ever have. It is a challenge to explain why, but it has to do with its ambiguity and lack of defined subject, allowing instead for potential meaning to emerge in the absence of certainty. Executed entirely in aquatint, it is technically one of Goya\u2019s most ambitious prints and it is entirely experimental. The aquatint conveys subtle effects of light and dark\u2014an apt technique for depicting a crepuscular atmosphere and conveying the sense of unease that pervades the composition. The giant turns toward us as if he has been disturbed from slumber or deep thought. I see him as embodying sorrow in the aftermath of the War of Independence (1808\u20131814); the bleak landscape symbolizes brutal conflict and the lower white strip suggesting obliteration at the periphery of the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Mark McDonald, curator in the department of drawings and prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical__slide-wrapper\" data-slide-id=\"1234590064\" data-slide-index=\"2\" data-slide-position-display=\"3\">\n<article class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__header\">\n<h2 class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__title\">Francisco Goya,\u00a0<em>The Count of Fern\u00e1n N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/em>\u00a0(1803)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__figure c-gallery-slide--loaded c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__figure--loaded\" role=\"presentation\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__image u-gallery-react-placeholder-shimmer aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FernanNunez.jpg?w=367\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 414px, (max-width: 1024px) 470px, (max-width: 1440px) 470px, (max-width: 2560px) 470px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FernanNunez.jpg?w=147 147w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FernanNunez.jpg?w=294 294w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FernanNunez.jpg?w=367 367w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FernanNunez.jpg?w=470 470w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FernanNunez.jpg?w=488 488w\" alt=\"Francisco Goya, 'The Count of Fern\u00e1n N\u00fa\u00f1ez,' 1803.\" width=\"352\" height=\"575\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__share-icons\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"c-gallery-vertical-slide__photo-credit-text\">\u00a0Photo<\/span><span class=\"c-gallery-vertical-slide__colon\">\u00a0:\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"c-gallery-vertical-slide__photo-credit\">Private Collection<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__description\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Goya witnessed an entire era of Spanish history and society at a time of considerable change. He was unceasingly curious about the world around him and represented everything that caught his imagination, from a still life of fish to the consequences of war, from a bullfight to a witches sabbath, from saints to a summer harvest. His portraits, for me, remain his most poignant and multifaceted works. They are seemingly the simplest, and yet he captures his sitters through an astonishingcombination of elegance and merciless scrutiny. His psychological inquiry is overwhelming. He portrayed the king and queen of Spain, but also his own son and grandson. He portrayed aristocrats, military figures, actresses, and intellectuals. The Count of Fern\u00e1n N\u00fa\u00f1ez was among the most important grandees of Spain. Goya depicts him in a statuary pose, set in the desolate Spanish landscape\u2014an extraordinary exercise in geometrical forms and subdued colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">\u2014<\/span><em><span class=\"s1\">Xavier F.

Portraits make up about one third of his painted output and were the subject of a highly acclaimed exhibition at the National Gallery in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">This penetrating portrait shows Andr\u00e9s del Peral who, like Goya\u2019s own father, was a professional gilder. From 1778, Peral was employed by the Spanish Royal Household to gild carriages and furniture, growing close to Goya in the following decade when they worked as court gilder and painter, respectively. It is the only portrait by Goya for which a contemporary account survives. On the occasion of its public display at the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid in 1798, the portrait was praised for \u201cits draughtsmanship, its taste in coloring, its directness, its effective use of chiaroscuro.\u201d For me, though, it\u2019s the intimacy and sense of humanity that Goya so brilliantly conveys that make this portrait stand out. Peral holds our gaze, the left side of his face drooping slightly (perhaps due to a stroke). Goya\u2019s mastery of paint is evident in the loose, confident brushstrokes that evoke the silvery sheen of Peral\u2019s coat and striped waistcoat beneath. The portrait is both arresting and infinitely subtle, epitomizing why Goya remains endlessly fascinating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">\u2014<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>Letizia Treves, curator of later Italian, Spanish, and French 17th-century paintings at the National Gallery, London<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source\uff1ahttps:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The works of Spanish artist Francisco Goya, who created unsettling, macabre scenes inspired by historical events and mythology, as well as psychologically charged portraits, have captivated viewers for centuries.
