EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a cartoon for a tapestry, titled "Dance on the Banks of the River Manzanares," created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes in 1777. The cartoon was commissioned by the Real Fábrica de Tapices (Royal Tapestry Factory) in Madrid for the dining room of El Pardo and another for El Escorial. The tapestries were woven at the factory in 1778. Goya, a master of the Spanish Baroque period, expertly captured the lively and playful spirit of the dance scene. The image portrays a group of revelers engaged in a dance on the banks of the River Manzanares. The figures are dressed in fashionable attire of the late 18th century, and their expressions radiate joy and merriment. The natural beauty of the river and its surroundings serve as a picturesque backdrop to the festivities. The cartoon was originally created as a preliminary design for the tapestries, which were woven in oil on canvas. This technique allowed for greater detail and precision in the design, resulting in a stunning and intricate final product. The tapestries themselves were highly valued for their beauty and craftsmanship, and were a testament to the artistic prowess of the Royal Tapestry Factory during the late Baroque period. Today, the original cartoon for "Dance on the Banks of the River Manzanares" is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its vibrant colors, intricate details, and lively energy. The tapestries, meanwhile, can be found in the dining rooms of El Pardo and El Escorial, where they continue to gracefully adorn the walls and add to the rich history and cultural significance of these historic sites.
