EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 9 from the Disparates: General Folly, ca. 1816-23 (published 1864) captures Francisco Goya's satirical genius in this black and white etching. The image transports us to a dreamlike country setting where feline creatures roam freely, blurring the line between reality and mythology. Goya's mastery of detail is evident as he portrays these mythical beasts with intricate precision. Their presence symbolizes the folly that exists within society, challenging conventional wisdom and provoking contemplation on human nature. The juxtaposition of cats against a rural backdrop adds an element of surprise to the composition. As we observe these enigmatic creatures, we are reminded of their association with mystery and independence throughout history. This artwork not only showcases Goya's technical skill but also his ability to convey complex concepts through visual storytelling. With subtle satire, he invites viewers to reflect upon societal norms and question established beliefs. As Plate 9 from the Disparates series resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a testament to Goya's enduring legacy as one of Spain's most influential artists. This print offers a glimpse into his imaginative world while reminding us that art has always been a powerful medium for social commentary.
