From LinkedCulture

Goya kept this print hidden for years, too dangerous to publish while he was alive. Part of his late series called the Disparates, or Follies, this etching and aquatint from 1815 to 1824 shows grotesque figures lurching together in almost total darkness, their cloaks billowing wildly while a collapsed body lies in the lower right corner. The velvety black aquatint was technically unlike anything before it. Goya created a visual language of nightmare that the art world would not catch up with for another century.

Written by LinkedCulture for its video on this object. Machine-generated (claude-sonnet-4-6), not yet reviewed by a person. It is not part of the museum’s record.

What the image shows

A dark, eerie scene with a skeletal figure standing over a prone figure on the ground, surrounded by shadowy figures in a forested area.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
