More about this artwork

"Volaverunt" (1796-1797) by Francisco de Goya is a striking etching that forms part of his series, "Los Caprichos." This artwork vividly captures a moment of dramatic transformation and ambiguity. The title, translating to "They have flown," hints at themes of freedom, escape, or loss.Central to the composition is an enigmatic female figure, seemingly suspended in mid-air, her garments flowing around her like dark waves. Her expression is serene, almost detached, contrasting sharply with the chaotic flurry of her surroundings. Beneath her, and in stark contrast, are the disembodied heads of men, depicted with expressions ranging from anguish to resignation, rendered in Goya's characteristic gritty style. Their dislocation from the woman above possibly symbolizes the capriciousness of power and privilege, or the fickle nature of fate.This etching invites viewers to reflect on themes of domination and the elusive nature of freedom, encapsulating Goya's deep cynicism about society and the human condition.

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.
