Punctual Folly - Francisco de Goya Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Turn your back on the rider and watch the stands. Francisco Goya packed Disparate Puntual with a wall of tobacco-brown faces, each one scratched loose with a needle and drowned in acid until it went soft. He was deaf by then. A crowd he could see and never hear.
Their silence presses on one performer. An acrobat in a high-waisted gown, chignon knotted tight, steers a chalk-pale horse along one strand of twisted hemp. Two slack reins in one hand. A staff crowned by a miniature head in the other, a small confidant at her ear.
The Spanish Romantic printmaker scraped this aquatint in the same years his brush fed the Black Paintings at the Quinta del Sordo. Both projects share his suspicion of applause. The series first reached the public in 1864 under a gentler name, Proverbios, long after Goya died in Bordeaux exile.
Tallow light pools on the horse’s flank. Charcoal floor waits beneath the rope. One step from catastrophe, she looks faintly bored.

Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
