O gigante

Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) Spanish

Not on view

Esta rara estampa de uma criatura colossal e misteriosas sentada no extremo da Terra Ă© uma das imagens mais perturbadoras e inquietantes de Goya. O monstro solitĂĄrio, que olha por cima do ombro para o cĂ©u noturno iluminado apenas pela lua minguante, inspira tanto piedade como temor. Em um processo similar ao processo de gravura a mezzotinta, Goya raspou fragmentos do metal anteriormente encrespados com tinta metĂĄlica granulada. O resultado foi uma imagem escura e ominosa, semelhante Ă s “pinturas negras” que o artista criou durante os Ășltimos anos de vida nos muros de sua casa perto de Madri.
