1816
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Disparate puntual (Sure Folly) is a 1816 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman riding a horse, with a crowd of people in the background. The woman is dressed in a long dress and has her hair tied up, while the horse is white and appears to be walking on a tightrope. The crowd in the background is made up of many faces, all looking in different directions. The scene is rendered in a dark, muted color palette, with the woman and horse standing out against the darker background. The overall effect is one of tension and drama, as if the woman is balancing precariously on the tightrope. The painting is a work of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination. To learn more about this style, look up the artist Goya, Francisco.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
