Description: This is an original etching by Francisco de Goya titled El Agarritado or The Garrotted Man. This is one of 4 images the artist created depicting prisoners who were executed by the French invaders, when Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Spain in 1808 and depict the theme of imprisonment and execution. This image was copied directly by the artist from a drawing that is in The Calcografia Nacional in Madrid. No working proofs were made, because it was perfectly executed on first attempt. Only 4 were printed contemporaneously. After the artist’s death in 1828, this plate along with others were then moved to Paris and later entrusted to master printmaker Armand Durand who editioned this one in 1880. Francisco de Goya is a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker, who is consider to be the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Goya is often referred to as the last of the old masters. I am proud to present El Agarrotado for your consideration. Printed in 1880 by master printmaker Armand Durand, this print includes a certificate of authenticity from KCM Galleries. Condition of the print is excellent, there are 4 small chips on the rim of the frame. Measurements are as follows - Frame - 14 3/4” wide x 17 3/8” tall. Image - 5 wide x 7 3/4” tall.
