EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Destres of the war: The carnivorous vulture" showcases a remarkable representation of the supporters of Ferdinand VII, the Spanish monarchy during the early 19th century. Created by renowned artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1810 and 1812, this preparation drawing in red pencil for etching offers a glimpse into his artistic genius. Goya's allegorical approach is evident as he portrays these loyalists as animals, specifically carnivorous vultures. This anthropomorphic depiction adds depth to his commentary on the tumultuous times of war and political unrest that plagued Spain during this period. The intensity and ferocity captured in this artwork are striking. The monstrous eagle-like creature symbolizes both power and menace, reflecting Goya's perception of those who supported Ferdinand VII's monarchy. Through his skilled use of caricature and attention to detail, Goya masterfully conveys his thoughts on loyalty, corruption, and the consequences of blind allegiance. Displayed at Madrid's Prado Museum today, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its powerful message and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder not only of Goya's immense talent but also highlights the enduring impact art can have in shaping our understanding of history. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures all these elements through her lens in this stunning photograph from Fine Art Finder. Her ability to showcase every intricate detail allows us to appreciate Goya's work even more deeply.
