Plate 11 from the Disparates - Poor Folly, ca. 1816-23 (published 1864) - A Satirical Reflection on Poverty and Dreams
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Francisco Goya, titled "Plate 11 from the Disparates: Poor Folly" offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the artist's satirical world. Created between 1816 and 1823 but published in 1864, this piece belongs to Goya's series of prints known as Los Disparates or The Follies. In this particular plate, we witness a woman lost in her dreams amidst impoverished surroundings. With delicate lines and intricate details, Goya masterfully captures both the physical poverty surrounding her and the metaphorical folly within her mind. The image serves as a poignant commentary on societal disparities during Spain's tumultuous nineteenth century. Goya's use of satire is evident throughout his works, challenging conventional wisdom and exposing human follies with sharp wit. Here, he invites us to reflect upon our own dreams and aspirations against the backdrop of poverty that plagued many during his time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print stands as a testament to Goya's enduring legacy as one of Spain's most influential artists. It reminds us that art has always been an instrument for social critique and introspection; it prompts us to question our own perceptions about wealth, poverty, dreams, and folly.
