1816
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Disparate volante (Flying Folly) is a 1816 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman riding a winged creature, possibly a horse with wings. The woman's face is contorted in a scream, and her arms are outstretched. The creature's wings are spread wide, and its head is turned back towards the woman. The image is rendered in dark, muted tones, with the woman and creature standing out against a dark background. The overall effect is one of chaos and turmoil. The painting is a great example of Romanticism, and if you're interested in learning more about this art movement, you should check out Romanticism.
