(from 2016.Klassics for Kids) Francisco Goya Spanish, 1746-1828 Buen Viaje [Good Voyage], 1797-1799 etching and aquatint Regarding this print, Goya wrote, “Where is this infernal company going, filling the air with noise in the darkness of night? If it were daytime it would be quite a different matter and gun shots would bring the whole group of them to the ground; but as it is night, no one can see them.” Who are these people and animals? Where are they going?
