EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, titled "Matrimonial Nightmare" is a thought-provoking representation of the complexities and challenges within marriage. Created between 1819 and 1823 but published in 1864, this artwork showcases Goya's exceptional talent as an artist. The image depicts a couple joined together at the chest, symbolizing their union through marriage. However, instead of portraying marital bliss, Goya presents us with a grotesque scene that hints at the darker aspects of matrimony. The exaggerated features and expressions on the faces of both individuals convey their discontentment and frustration. Goya's use of engraving techniques adds depth to the composition while emphasizing intricate details throughout. This print is part of his larger series called "Proverbs" or "Los Disparates" which explores various human follies and societal issues. Through this artwork, Goya invites viewers to reflect upon the complexities inherent in relationships and society's expectations surrounding marriage. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly perfect unions can be plagued by difficulties. As we observe this piece from our private collection today, it continues to resonate with audiences worldwide due to its timeless themes and masterful execution. Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes remains one of Spain's most celebrated artists whose works continue to inspire generations beyond his own time.
