EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Modo de Volar" (The Way to Fly), is a masterpiece by the legendary Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Created in the early 19th century, this print is one of Goya's most intriguing works, featuring winged people, a concept that has fascinated artists and audiences throughout history. Unlike many of Goya's other winged figures, the birdmen in "Modo de Volar" are depicted with wings that are not only large but also aerodynamically viable. The wings, with their distinctively curved and feathered edges, suggest a level of realism and attention to detail that sets this etching apart from others of its time. The historical significance of this work lies in its depiction of human flight, a concept that was still largely the stuff of myth and legend in the early 1800s. Goya's birdmen challenge the boundaries of what was thought possible, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the future and the realm of human flight. The etching's title, "Modo de Volar," implies a sense of instruction or guidance, suggesting that Goya saw the potential for human flight as a transformative force. The birdmen in this print are not simply mythical creatures, but rather symbols of human aspiration and the limitless possibilities of the human spirit. With its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and historical significance, "Modo de Volar" remains a captivating and thought-provoking work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue audiences more than 200 years after it was created.
