1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Might Not the Pupil Know More?, Plate 37 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a man sitting on the ground, leaning against a wall. He’s holding a sleeping baby in his arms, and a donkey stands behind him, also resting. The man wears a loose jacket and a hat, and the scene looks quiet and a little worn. The donkey’s head is close to the man’s, almost like they’re sharing a moment. The print is in black and white, with some shading to show light and shadow. If you like this, check out chiaroscuro, the technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
