A Way of Flying EtchingFrancisco Goya

61
Francisco Goya’s etching, part of the ’Los Proverbios’ series (1815–1824), depicts figures attempting flight with various contraptions. It explores the irrational and absurd aspects of human nature, reflecting on ambition and folly. Goya’s work bridges traditional and modern art, influencing future artists. The etching’s stark contrasts and expressive lines enhance its dramatic, dreamlike quality, highlighting the tension between aspiration and reality.
