More about this artwork

On our exhibit this month, we have the poignant work "They are Dying" created by the masterful Francisco de Goya between 1825 and 1828. This drawing forms a part of Goya's profound explorations into human suffering and societal injustices.The artwork presents a gripping scene of an old man, seemingly frail and engulfed by despair. The figure is hunched over, with his face buried in his hand, indicating a moment of profound sorrow or exhaustion. The rough, sketch-like quality of the drawing, achieved through Goya’s expert handling of the brush and ink, underscores the themes of decay and despair.Beside the central figure, a basket and what seems to be a sack or cloth lie on the ground, suggesting perhaps the remnants of a day's hard work or a metaphor for the burdens of life. The backdrop is minimally detailed, directing all focus on the elderly man and his poignant condition."They are Dying" is a chilling reminder of human vulnerability and a powerful expression of Goya’s deep empathy for the human condition. The artist's ability to convey complex emotional states through sparse and controlled use of lines makes this work an enduring study of human anguish.

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.
