More about this artwork

Welcome to the enigmatic world of Francisco de Goya, and his dark etching, "God Creates Them and They Join up Together" (Dios los Cria y Ellos Se Juntan), created around 1813-1820. This artwork is part of a series from a time when Goya, profoundly affected by personal and societal turmoil, explored themes of human folly, superstition, and the grotesque in his famous "Disasters of War" and other works.In this haunting etching, we are drawn into a scene that seems to emerge from the depths of shadow. The composition captures a morbid gathering of figures, their forms etched with expressive, almost ghostly detail. Central to the artwork are disembodied heads held up by cloaked figures, creating an unsettling narrative that feels both a confrontation and a spectral assembly. The presence of a prone figure, possibly deceased, adds a chilling note of finality to the scene.Goya’s mastery in using chiaroscuro (the contrast between light and dark) intensifies the drama and emotion of the piece, enveloping the viewer in a disturbing yet hypnotic atmosphere. The darkness that pervades the work symbolizes Goya’s bleak view of humanity’s imperfections and the consequences of societal decay."Dios los Cria y Ellos Se Juntan" invites interpretation and contemplation, as Goya offers no clear narrative, urging us to reflect on the complexities and mysteries of 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.
