EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print, titled "Maja and Celestina on a Balcony" transports us back to the early 19th century. Painted by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, this masterpiece measures an impressive 166x108 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The composition features two female figures: Maja, a young woman exuding grace and beauty, and Celestina, an elderly marriage broker. The contrast between youth and old age is strikingly portrayed through their full-length portraits. Maja stands elegantly with her head slightly tilted, radiating confidence and allure. Meanwhile, Celestina leans against the balcony railing beside her, wearing a wise expression that hints at her years of experience. Goya's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate folds of fabric adorning their dresses to the intricate patterns decorating the balcony railings. The use of warm colors adds depth and richness to the scene while capturing the essence of Spanish culture during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into a world where age-old traditions meet youthful aspirations. It serves as a reminder that even in times past when arranged marriages were common practice, there was still room for hope and dreams within societal constraints. This print captures not only Goya's artistic brilliance but also his ability to evoke emotion through his subjects' expressions and body language. It invites us to reflect on our own perceptions of beauty
