EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes titled "Los Zancos" (Stilts) transports us back to the late 18th century, where stilt walkers were a popular form of entertainment. The intricate details and expressive faces of the figures in this artwork showcase Goya's mastery in capturing human emotion.
Displayed at the Museo Nacional del Prado, this piece is a testament to Goya's ability to bring life and movement to his subjects. The use of stilts adds an element of whimsy and playfulness to the scene, as we see individuals skillfully navigating their way on these tall wooden poles.
The composition draws our eyes towards the central figure, who appears confident and poised as they balance effortlessly on their stilts. Surrounding them are other performers engaging in stilt walking, creating a lively atmosphere filled with energy and excitement.
Goya's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the delicate folds of clothing to the expressions on each face. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that have shaped our world today.
As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to experience a moment of joy and wonderment through Goya's lens.
