1816
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Sanan cuchilladas mas no malas palabras (Wounds Heal Quicker than Hasty Words) is a 1816 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a group of people in dark, flowing robes, their faces contorted in a mix of anger and fear. One figure appears to be attacking another, while others look on in distress. The scene is set against a dark, shadowy background, which adds to the sense of tension and foreboding. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the etching, with the aquatint technique used to create a sense of depth and texture. The figures are rendered in bold, expressive lines, while the background is more subtle, with softer, more muted tones. This painting is a great example of the Romanticism movement, and you can learn more about it by exploring the works of Goya, Francisco.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
