Academia de Nobles Artes de San Fernando. + + MADRID. + + 1863. + + +El nombre de Goya es bien conocido de todos los amantes de las Artes, y +ha volado por España y fuera de ella acompañado de una fama merecida: á +pesar de la poca justicia con que generalmente son juzgados los hombres +de mérito verdadero por sus contemporáneos, la generación que concluye, +que le conoció y trató en su vigor, la que hoy média su camino, que le +alcanzó en sus últimos años, y la que comienza su carrera artística y ha +visto sus obras y oido hablar do él á sus padres y á sus maestros, todas +unánimes le conceden un honroso lugar en la série larga y brillante de +los artistas españoles. Y no debe Goya su nombre y su fama á la +circunstancia de haber escaseado tanto los artistas notables en España +durante el último tercio del siglo pasado y el primero del presente, no: +Goya hubiera conquistado siempre y en cualesquiera circunstancias el +renombre que no podia menos de adquirirle su originalidad verdadera, +hija de la singular independencia de su carácter: maestro de sí mismo, +puede decirse que por sí solo constituyó Escuela, adoptando un modo de +ver en artes que nadie tuvo antes que él, que acaso nadie seguirá +despues. No se propone la Academia hacer una crítica del génio y de las +obras de este hombre singular, que ha sido ya juzgado con algún acierto +por propios y estraños; y al publicar una coleccion, hasta ahora +inédita, de sus estimadas aguas-fuertes, cumple solo un honroso deber, +contribuyendo á dar á conocer cada vez, mas las obras características de +tan distinguido maestro, y tan digno individuo de este cuerpo artístico. +La coleccion que él designó con el nombre de _Estragos ó Desastres de la +Guerra_, es sin disputa una de las más notables que en este género +produjo Goya: en ella se descubre todo el brío de su fogosa imaginación, +exaltada y sobreescilada por un vivo sentimiento de patriotismo, en +aquellos terribles momentos en que una injusta invasión estranjera +pretendía humillar el orgullo y altivez característicos del nombre +castellano: ¿qué mucho, pues, que un español, un aragonés y un hombre +del carácter duro é independiente de Goya se dejase arrastrar muchas +veces hasta la exageracion y la caricatura? En cambio respira esta obra +novedad en los asuntos, originalidad en los tipos, fuego en la +composicion, valentía y seguridad en la mancha, decision y hasta finura +en el dibujo. Para que nada falte á esta singular coleccion, las +leyendas puestas á cada lámina son otro rasgo mas del génio de su autor: +concisas, incisivas y picantes añaden carácter, si añadírselo es posible +á lo que ya consignó el lápiz del artista: una breve frase, y á veces +una palabra sola, revelan con su misma rapidez la idea fugaz que su +mente concibiera en un momento y su mano representara en poco más de +otro. La Academia, que ha adquirido las planchas de esta coleccion, +conocida de muy pocos y de la que solo se habian sacado un número +reducido de pruebas, la publica con la confianza de que ha de merecer +una favorable acogida á los amantes de las Artes españolas. + +Varias son las biografías que se han escrito y publicado del célebre +Goya, cuya vida y cuyo retrato son ya bastante conocidos; por eso la +Academia no cree necesario poner al frente de esta publicacion sino una +brevísima noticia de su vida y obras, para conocimiento de aquellos +pocos que antes de examinarla, no hayan leído ninguna de aquellas. + +D. Francisco Goya y Lucientes nació en Fuentedetodos, Aragón, el dia 31 +de Marzo de 1746: no se tienen noticias detalladas de su juventud, y +solo se sabe que desde la edad de 13 años se dedicó al dibujo en +Zaragoza bajo la dirección de D. José Luzan, y que, muy jóven aún, pasó +á Roma donde continuó sus estudios. Las primeras obras que dieron á +conocer su génio en la pintura fueron los cuadros que ejecutó para la +fábrica de tapices, cuyo valor autorizaba con su visto bueno el +caballero Mengs, á quien tenia asombrado la grande facilidad con que los +hacia. Pintó al fresco una de las medias naranjas de la Iglesia del +Pilar de Zaragoza y en Madrid la capilla de San Antonio de la Florida. +Tuvo bastante facilidad en los retratos, y los mejores fueron los de +aquellos amigos en que no empleó mas que una sesión. El Cristo y cuadro +del Santo en la Iglesia de San Francisco, y el de San José de Calasanz +en la de San Antonio Abad de Madrid, los tres que hizo para la capilla +del Monte Torrero en Zaragoza, el prendimiento que existe en la +sacristía de la Catedral de Toledo, y Santa Justa y Rufina en la de +Sevilla, bastan para dar á conocer su mérito artístico; aunque siempre +merecieron su predileccion los cuadros que tenia en su casa, pues, como +pintados con libertad según su génio y para su uso particular, los hizo +con el cuchillo de la paleta en lugar del pincel, logrando sin embargo +que causen un efecto admirable á proporcionada distancia. Pintó muchos +cuadros en que representó con admirable verdad las costumbres del pueblo +bajo de Madrid, y otros muchos asuntos variados y caprichosos. Son muy +notables y dignas de verse entre sus obras de estos géneros la coleccion +de cuadros que posee el Excmo. Sr. Duque de Osuna en su bella quinta de +la Alameda, que representan varias escenas populares en figuras de +tamaño mayor y mas concluidas que lo que generalmente acostumbraba, los +retratos que en considerable número tienen el mismo Sr. Duque y el de +Fernan-Nuñez, y la de pinturas al temple que ejecutó sobre los muros de +la casa que habitó en las afueras de Madrid, situada en una altura, +cerca del camino de la ermita de San Isidro y que hoy pertenece al Sr. +D. Segundo Colmenares: los asuntos de estas pinturas son muy variados; +conciliábulos de brujas, riñas, escenas de costumbres y algún asunto +mitológico. La Academia posee cuatro cuadros compañeros que representan +un auto de fé, una procesiosn de Semana santa, una corrida de toros en +una aldea, y una casa de locos; posee además otro que representa la +mascarada del entierro de la sardina, de figuras pequeñas como los otros +cuatro; otros dos que representan en tamaño natural el uno una mujer +tendida y caprichosamente vestida de maja, y el otro otra que pasa por +retrato de la actriz conocida por la Tirana, y el retrato del mismo +Goya. Las dos anteriores se van á grabar para formar parle de la +coleccion de grabados de sus cuadros notables que la Academia se propone +publicar. + +Grabó al agua fuerte además de la coleccion que hoy se publica otras +tres que compondrán mas de doscientos cobres y pasó los últimos años de +su vida dibujando constantemente. + +Fué nombrado individuo de esta Academia en 7 de Mayo de 1780, Director +de Pintura en 15 de Setiembre de 1795, quedando como honorario dos años +despues. Fué pintor de cámara del Rey Cárlos IV desde Abril de 1789 y el +primero de los de esta clase en Octubre de 1799. Falleció en Burdeos á +los 84 años de edad el 16 de Abril de 1828. + + +[Imagen: Tristes presentimientos de lo que ha de acontecer.] + +[Imagen: Con razon ó sin ella.] + +[Imagen: Lo mismo.] + +[Imagen: Las mugeres dan valor.] + +[Imagen: Y son fieras.] + +[Imagen: Bien te se está.] + +[Imagen: Que valor!] + +[Imagen: Siempre sucede.] + +[Imagen: No quieren.] + +[Imagen: Tampoco.] + +[Imagen: Ni por esas.] + +[Imagen: Para eso habeis nacido.] + +[Imagen: Amarga presencia.] + +[Imagen: Duro es el paso!] + +[Imagen: Y no hai remedio.] + +[Imagen: Se aprovechan.] + +[Imagen: No se convienen.] + +[Imagen: Enterrar y callar.] + +[Imagen: Ya no hay tiempo.] + +[Imagen: Curarlos, y á otra.] + +[Imagen: Será lo mismo.] + +[Imagen: Tanto y mas.] + +[Imagen: Lo mismo en otras partes.] + +[Imagen: Aun podrán servir.] + +[Imagen: Tambien estos.] + +[Imagen: No se puede mirar.] + +[Imagen: Caridad.] + +[Imagen: Populacho.] + +[Imagen: Lo merecia.] + +[Imagen: Estragos de la guerra.] + +[Imagen: Fuerte cosa es!] + +[Imagen: Por qué?] + +[Imagen: Qué hai que hacer mas?] + +[Imagen: Por una navaja.] + +[Imagen: No se puede saber por qué.] + +[Imagen: Tampoco.] + +[Imagen: Esto es peor.] + +[Imagen: Bárbaros!] + +[Imagen: Grande hazaña!] Con muertos! + +[Imagen: Algun partido saca.] + +[Imagen: Escapan entre las llamas.] + +[Imagen: Todo va revuelto.] + +[Imagen: Tambien esto.] + +[Imagen: Yo lo vi.] + +[Imagen: Y esto tambien.] + +[Imagen: Esto es malo.] + +[Imagen: Así sucedió.] + +[Imagen: Cruel lástima!] + +[Imagen: Caridad de una muger.] + +[Imagen: Madre infeliz!] + +[Imagen: Gracias á la almorta.] + +[Imagen: No llegan á tiempo.] + +[Imagen: Espiró sin remedio.] + +[Imagen: Clamores en vano.] + +[Imagen: Lo peor es pedir.] + +[Imagen: Al cementerio.] + +[Imagen: Sanos y enfermos.] + +[Imagen: No hay que dar voces.] + +[Imagen: De qué sirve una taza?] + +[Imagen: No hay quien los socorra.] + +[Imagen: Si son de otro linage.] + +[Imagen: Las camas de la muerte.] + +[Imagen: Muertos recogidos.] + +[Imagen: Carretadas al cementerio.] + +[Imagen: Qué alboroto es este?] + +[Imagen: Extraña devocion!] + +[Imagen: Esta no lo es menos.] + +[Imagen: Que locura!] + +[Imagen: Nada.] Ello dirá. + +[Imagen: No saben el camino.] + +[Imagen: Contra el bien general.] + +[Imagen: Las resultas.] + +[Imagen: Gatesca pantomima.] + +[Imagen: Esto es lo peor!] + +[Imagen: Farándula de charlatanes.] + +[Imagen: El buitre carnívoro.] + +[Imagen: Que se rompe la cuerda.] + +[Imagen: Se defiende bien.] + +[Imagen: Murió la Verdad.] + +[Imagen: Se resucitará?] + + + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's Los Desastres de la guerra:, by Francisco de Goya + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK LOS DESASTRES DE LA GUERRA: *** + +***** This file should be named 60117-0.txt or 60117-0.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/6/0/1/1/60117/ + +Produced by Chuck Greif (This file was produced from images +available at The Internet Archive) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
