To Rise and to Fall, Plate 56 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a scene with three figures, one of whom is standing on the back of another. The standing figure has long hair and is dressed in white, with their arms outstretched and holding objects in each hand. The figure on the ground is wearing dark clothing and appears to be in a state of distress. A third figure is partially visible in the background, but their features are not clearly defined. The scene is rendered in dark tones, with the figures set against a dark background. The overall mood of the image is one of turmoil and chaos.
