1808 -1812 · Flesh, hunting and wartime
Sheep's head, provisions, dead birds and salmon show Goya stripping still life of all luxury: weight, cut and vulnerability occupy the surface.
Francisco de Goya painted most of his still lifes during the years of the Spanish War of Independence. Unlike the sumptuous baroque displays, his compositions often remain dark, tight and almost undecorated. A sheep's head, slices of salmon, a turkey or woodcocks are placed frontally, with a materiality that requires looking at flesh, feather, eye and cup. Fruits, bottles and breads introduce ordinary food, but without triumphant abundance. These works can be linked to the Spanish traditions of Sanchez Cotân and Meléndez, while carrying the visual brutality specific to the war years. It would be excessive to make them direct allegories of each political event; their silence and their simplicity are enough to make life vulnerable. Goya's touch remains free, concentrating the light on a few surfaces rather than on a meticulous inventory. The "Still lifes by Francisco de Goya" selection notably compares Still life with sheep's head and Still life with fruit, bottles, breads. Its reading favors color.
Goya's still life does not promise abundance: it places flesh, food and death in the same straightforward light.
