More about this artwork

"Ya es hora" (It is time), a profound etching by the masterful Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, captures a moment of intense emotion and dramatic tension with his signature combination of stark realism and dark, evocative themes. Created between 1796 and 1797, this compelling artwork is part of a series that explores human behavior and societal critique.The etching shows a scene of agitation where a central figure, dramatically draped, appears to be either falling back or being forcefully drawn upwards, hands thrown open in a gesture that conveys shock or despair. This figure is surrounded by others whose expressions and cries add to the sense of emergency and tumult captured by Goya. The facial expressions are rendered with gripping intensity, where each line works to convey a deep sense of struggle and horror.Goya, known for his critical reflections on the social and political issues of his time, uses this image to perhaps evoke themes of justice, power struggles, or the breaking point of human endurance. The title "Ya es hora" suggests a pivotal moment of action or change, hinting at the critical turning points in life or society that Goya was often compelled to comment on through his art.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters. Goya is often referred to as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns.
