The most fascinating thing I learned about Goya was his transition from traditional painting to the aquatint found in Los Caprichos. Observing this change, you can really gain insight into his own personal experiences and how these affected his outlook on life. Comparing something like The Parasol which he did in 1777 to something like Out Hunting for Teeth which he did in 1797-1798, you might not even believe that the same artist was responsible. The rich colors versus the etching and the different emotions you can draw from these works are amazing. I see The Parasol as an image of traditional beauty: a sunny day, a handsome young man and a beautiful, smiling young woman decked out in a luxurious dress with a snoozing puppy on her lap. There is not a care in this world, no sense of danger, and a calm, content feeling. In Out Hunting for Teeth, we see terror, death, suffering, and get an overall grotesque feeling. Goya’s art provides a unique look into his transforming reactions to the world around him.

I agree! It’s really interesting to see the contrast between the two images you’ve included. I think the difference really speaks to the multifaceted nature of Goya’s artistic career and, as you stated, the complexity of his life. I admittedly don’t know very much about Goya’s personal life, so I’d be interested to learn more and see how his experiences shaped the content of his work and the emotions it provokes.
