EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Female Riddle" is a masterpiece created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya between 1819 and 1823. It belongs to a series called Proverbs, also known as disparates or follies, which was published in 1864 by the Spanish Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. In this thought-provoking image, we see a group of women holding babies while standing on the horizon of their dreams. The concept behind this artwork lies within its political satire and tormented absurdity that was prevalent during the 19th century. Goya's etching skillfully captures the essence of societal elements at that time. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing both the unity and individuality of these women. Wrapped in blankets, they seem to be throwing an enigmatic riddle into the air, symbolizing their struggle for freedom and equality. As one gazes upon this print, it becomes evident that Goya's artistic vision transcends time. His ability to depict complex emotions through his art media is truly remarkable. This particular piece showcases his talent for capturing human expression with meticulous detail. "Female Riddle" serves as a powerful reminder of Spain's historical context during the early 19th century while highlighting universal themes such as feminism and social commentary. It stands as an enduring testament to Francisco Goya's genius as an artist whose work continues to captivate audiences even centuries later.
