1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Love and Death, Plate 10 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a woman in white hugging a skeleton. The skeleton holds a bow and arrow, ready to shoot. The woman looks calm, not scared. Goya made this as part of a series called *The Fates*. Death isn’t scary here—it’s just a normal part of life. The woman accepts it without fear. See how the dark background makes the white figure stand out? It’s called chiaroscuro. Look up Francisco de Goya (Spanish, 1746–1828) for more like this.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
