1816
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Disparate de Carnabal (Carnival Folly) is a 1816 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a lively scene of people in various poses, some crouching or leaning forward. The figures are dressed in loose, flowing clothing, with one man wearing a tall hat. In the background, a group of people can be seen, although they are not as clearly defined as those in the foreground. The overall mood of the image is one of energy and movement, with the figures appearing to be in the midst of some kind of activity. The use of dark shading and bold lines adds to the sense of dynamism, creating a sense of tension and drama. The artist's use of etching and aquatint techniques creates a rich, textured surface that adds depth and complexity to the image. For more on this technique, look up aquatint.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
