Nadie se conoce (Nobody Knows Himself) is a 1799 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a scene with a man and woman, both dressed in 18th-century attire, standing in front of a dark background. The man wears a large hat and holds a sword, while the woman is dressed in a long gown and appears to be looking at the man. The image is rendered in dark tones, with the figures standing out against the dark background. The title "Nadie se conoce" is written at the bottom of the image. The use of etching and aquatint techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The artist's use of dark tones and dramatic lighting adds to the overall mood of the piece. For more on this style, look into Romanticism.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
