Plate 1 from the Disparates - Feminine Folly
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by Francisco Goya, created between 1816-23 but published in 1864. This intriguing artwork transports us to the whimsical world of Spanish satire in the 19th century. In this scene, we witness a playful game unfolding in the countryside. A group of men and women are engaged in an amusing pastime, surrounded by blankets and puppets. The focal point of the image is a man throwing bubbles towards a donkey, while others watch with amusement. It seems that feminine folly takes center stage as women participate eagerly in this lighthearted activity. Goya's mastery lies not only in his technical skill but also in his ability to convey deeper meanings through visual metaphors. Through "Feminine Folly" he subtly critiques societal norms and gender roles prevalent during his time. The proverbial nature of the scene suggests that Goya intended to highlight how society often underestimates or dismisses female intelligence or agency. As we delve into this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of Goya's enduring legacy as one of Spain's most influential artists. His keen observations on human behavior continue to resonate today, inviting us to reflect on our own follies and prejudices. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Goya's artistic genius and his unwavering commitment to challenging societal conventions through thought-provoking
