Francisco Goya’s ’Yard with Lunatics’ (1793–1794) depicts the grim reality of 18th-century asylums, reflecting his struggles with deafness and mental illness. Set in a yard with mentally ill individuals, it reveals the harsh conditions and neglect faced by the marginalized. This work marks Goya’s shift towards naturalism and fantasy, highlighting his empathy for society’s outcasts and their alienation.
