The Filiation (La Filiacion), 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes that delves into the complexities of marriage and social criticism. This surreal artwork, measuring 21.6x15.2 cm, can be found at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The print depicts a bizarre wedding scene where a couple stands before an altar adorned with masks and enigmatic symbols. The bride wears pince nez glasses, adding an air of mystery to her character. A fox lurks nearby, symbolizing cunning and deceit within the institution of marriage. Goya's satirical approach highlights the theme of filiation or lineage in marriages of convenience rather than love. He critiques societal norms that prioritize financial gain over genuine affection between partners. Through his masterful engraving technique, Goya invites viewers to question traditional notions surrounding matrimony and its implications on individuals' lives. The surreal elements add depth to this thought-provoking piece as it challenges our perception of reality. "The Filiation (La Filiacion)" is part of Goya's renowned series "Los Caprichos" which showcases his mastery in satire and social commentary during Spain's Enlightenment period. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images captures the essence of Goya's artistic genius while shedding light on timeless themes such as love, marriage, and societal expectations – making it a significant addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
