Los disparates (The Follies), also known as Proverbios or Sueños , is a series of prints in etching and aquatint, with retouching in drypoint and engraving, created by Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco Goya between 1815 and 1823.
The first floor displays 22 prints from Los disparates series, 40 prints from La Tauromaquia and 82 prints from The Disasters of War, while the second floor displays 80 engravings from Los caprichos. The collection was created thanks to several donations of works from renowned artists bought after they were auctioned. [7] [8]
