From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Disparate general (General Folly) is a 1816 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching, titled Disparate general (General Folly), depicts a chaotic scene. A man in a dark coat and hat is at the center, surrounded by a crowd of people in various poses. Some are standing, while others are crouching or leaning forward. The figures are densely packed, with some overlapping each other. The background is dark, with only a few hints of light peeking through. The overall mood is one of confusion and disorder. The artist's use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of energy and movement. The image invites the viewer to explore the details and try to make sense of the scene. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Goya, Francisco.
