1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Yes, He Broke the Pot, Plate 25 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this image, a woman is kneeling on the floor, holding a child in her arms. The woman's face is contorted in a mixture of anger and despair, while the child appears to be crying. The scene is set in a dimly lit room with a few pieces of furniture, including a table and a chair. The walls are adorned with clothes hanging from a line, and the floor is littered with broken pottery. The woman's expression suggests that she is upset about something, possibly the broken pot that lies on the floor. The child's crying adds to the sense of tension and chaos in the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of turmoil and distress. For more on the artistic techniques used in this painting, look up chiaroscuro.
