Winter Scene, Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes

Winter Scene

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, c. 1786

Two groups of travelers, one with a slaughtered pig in tow, converge on an icy road during a snowstorm. Goya captured the scene’s wintry atmosphere with barren trees, large swaths of cool grays and whites, and diagonal brushstrokes that convey rapid snowfall. This painting is one of a series of studies Goya created for monumental tapestries depicting the four seasons, commissioned for a dining hall at the Royal Palace of El Pardo in Spain.
