Blind singer 1820

"Blind Singer" is a powerful etching by Francisco Goya, created in 1820. It depicts a blind man, likely a street performer, singing while playing a guitar. Goya’s masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and somber atmosphere, highlighting the figure’s vulnerability and emphasizing the stark reality of his situation. This print is part of Goya’s series of etchings known as "Los Caprichos," which were a biting commentary on Spanish society and human nature.
