EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francisco Goya's masterpiece, "A Woman and two Children by a Fountain" painted in 1786-7. The oil on canvas artwork depicts a serene scene of a woman and her two children near a beautiful fountain. This particular painting was one of four created by Goya as designs for tapestries to adorn the dining room of the Prince and Princess of Asturias at the Palace of El Pardo, located close to Madrid. Goya, who had recently been appointed Painter to the King in 1786, poured his artistic talent into this commission. In this piece, he skillfully captures the essence of family life with delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. It has been suggested that the family portrayed here may be that of a bricklayer from another image by Goya. The focal point is undoubtedly the fountain, which adds an element of tranquility to the composition. Water cascades gracefully from its spout into an ornate pot below. Surrounding it are three figures - a composed woman standing beside her children: a young boy looking contemplative while his brother appears upset and cries. This remarkable artwork not only exemplifies Goya's exceptional talent but also offers us insight into domestic life during this period in Spain's history. With its timeless beauty and emotional depth, "A Woman and two Children by a Fountain" continues to captivate viewers today.
