Lot 3233 | Francisco de Goya
Francisco de Goya
(1746 Fuendetodos/Aragón - 1828 Bordeaux)
"El sueño de la razón produce monstruos" (Der Schlaf [Traum] der Vernunft gebiert Ungeheuer)
Radierung u. Aquatinta/Papier, um 1797-1799. L. u. betitelt, r. o. in der Platte die Nr. "43". Als 43. Blatt der insgesamt 80 in der innovativen Aquatintatechnik ausgeführten Radierungen aus Goyas 1799 erstmals veröffentlichter Sammlung "Los Caprichos" (Launen, Einfälle) gehört es zu den bedeutendsten und meistinterpretierten grafischen Werken der Kunstgeschichte. Es zeigt Goya schlafend an einer Art Tisch, umgeben von unheimlichen nächtlichen Wesen, und war ursprünglich als Titelblatt der Sammlung geplant. Da sich von der Erstausgabe der "Caprichos" von 300 nur 27 Exemplare verkauften, bot Goya 1803 die Restauflage und Platten König Karl IV. von Spanien zum Kauf an. Erst viel später erschienen etliche Neuausgaben der "Caprichos", zuerst circa 1821-1836, zuletzt 1937. Plattenmaß ca. 21,6 cm x 15,2 cm; Blatt ca. 37 cm x 26,5 cm. Rahmen.
Die original Druckplatte befindet sich im Museo de Calcografía Nacional, Madrid.
Etching and aquatint on paper, circa 1797-1799. Sheet no. 43 of the portfolio "Los Caprichos", first published 1799, later editions are published 1821-1937. Titled on the plate.
