The Proverbs: The Folly of Fury

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of men in white clothing, some with their heads down, one man on the ground with another man holding a long object. The men are standing on a flat surface with a stone wall behind them. The wall appears to be made of large stone blocks and has a rough texture. The men are dressed in loose-fitting clothing, with some wearing robes or tunics. The man on the ground is being held down by another man who is holding a long object, possibly a spear or a stick. In the background, there are additional figures visible. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of chaos.
