Francisco Goya
Soplones - Etching and and Aquatint by Francisco Goya - 1881

1881

About the Item

Soplones is a black and White aquatint, drypoint and etching printed in blue-black ink on laid paper from Caprichos realized after Francisco Goya in 1881-1886 . 6th Edition.Very good impression. Madrid: Calcografia Real, 1881-1886 Sheet size: 31 x 23. The first edition of Capricci was published on 6 February 1799 and put on sale the same day in a liquor and perfume shop on Calle DesengaÏo, in Madrid. The same day, in the Diario de Madrid, Goya became concerned and tried to reiterate that the Capricci were a work born from his imagination and without real references. However, worried about the public reaction and the inquisition, he decided after only 27 copies were sold to withdraw the edition from the market and so in 1803 he donated the remaining copies of the Caprices and the related plates to the King in exchange for a pension for his son. The work was subsequently reprinted by the Calcografa Nacional of Madrid in several editions from 1855 to 1937 after the first in 1799.

  • Dorian Gray at Opium Den from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" surreal portrait
    By Jim Dine
    Located in New York, NY
    This surreal etching portrait of Dorian Gray by Jim Dine in blue ink features the literary protagonist dressed in a white suit. His face is obscured by a mass of hair, tangles of which seem to grow from the sleeves, pant legs, and from beneath the jacket. Dine's notes are written on the image: at his feet reading "WHITE BOOTS" and "White Vinyl Suit" alongside the jacket. On the left edge of the image handwritten text reads "DORIAN GRAY AT OPIUM DEN". In Oscar Wilde's novel Dorian Gray keeps opium in an ornate box in his home, and frequents sites of consumption on the East side of London: “There were opium dens where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new”. An opium den is where Sybil's brother James discovers Dorian. The brother attempts to capture the man he believes is responsible for the death of his sister. Dorian flees to his home, ultimately slashing the portrait that has kept him young for so long. Etching by Jim Dine from one of his most important artist’s books – completely designed and illustrated by Dine. Study for the Rings on Dorian Gray’s Hand from “The Picture of Dorian Gray...
