And So was His Grandfather, Plate 39 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This odd little print shows a man and his donkey on a path. The donkey wears a hat. The man wears a coat and points ahead. Goya made these prints late in life. He used acid on metal plates to bite away shadows. That leaves light and dark in wild patches. The donkey’s hat looks like it’s melting. If you like this strange humor, look up Francisco de Goya (Spanish, 1746–1828).
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
