1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Tale-Bearers - Blasts of Wind, Plate 48 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a dark, eerie scene with a large, winged creature looming over a group of people. The creature has a grotesque face and sharp teeth, while the people cower in fear, their faces contorted in terror. The background is a deep, foreboding grey, adding to the sense of unease. In the foreground, one of the people appears to be shielding their face from the creature's gaze, while another looks up at it with a mixture of fear and awe. The creature's wings are outstretched, casting a shadow over the group. This painting is characteristic of the Romanticism movement, which often featured dramatic and emotive scenes.
