EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, titled "Carnival fantasy" transports us into a world of masked revelry and hidden truths. Plate 14 of the Proverbs series, originally created between 1819-23 but published in 1864, captures the essence of social hypocrisy and confusion. In this artwork, Goya masterfully depicts a scene filled with deceit and trickery. The use of masks symbolizes the facade people often wear to conceal their true intentions or identities. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the proverbial saying that warns against trusting appearances alone. The figures on stilts add an element of absurdity to the composition, heightening our sense of disorientation and emphasizing the theme of deception. Goya's intricate engraving technique brings out every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate his skill as both a painter and artist. As one explores this piece further, it becomes evident that Goya's work is not merely an observation on human behavior but also a commentary on societal norms. By exposing these layers of falsehoods through his artistry, he challenges us to question our own perceptions and assumptions about those around us. "Carnival fantasy" is just one example from Goya's larger body of work known as Los Disparates (The Follies). Through his unique artistic vision, Goya continues to captivate audiences even centuries later with his thought-provoking exploration into human nature and its complexities.
