GOYA’NIN KARA RESİMLERİ VE "KÖPEK" ADLI RESMİNİN ANALİZİ

Abstract

Francisco Goya (1746-1828), as an artist who lived in the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, witnessed a painful period in Spain. The artist was very influenced by this period of civil war and French occupation and directly reflected on his art. His stunning and high artistic value paintings are therefore documents. Goya’s paintings have undertaken a function of stimulating social memory and being on the alert about war and violence. Goya, who lived in the transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, moved away from the traditional approach; He is one of the first artists to reflect his inner nature, excitement and emotions on his paintings. The artist lived in a period when social and political changes accelerated in Europe under the influence of Enlightenment Philosophy; He carried his libertarian and critical attitude to his paintings. In this article, the Black Paintings made by Goya on the walls of the house where he lived between 1819-1823 and the painting named The Dog, which stands out among these paintings, were examined. The life of the artist and the prominent events of the period in which he lived were discussed in general terms in the context of their effect on his paintings and a detailed analysis of the painting named The Dog was made. The metaphorical expansions of the images in the painting and those that develop in the axis of the dog image examined.
