Francisco de Goya, El Perro Semihundido o El Perro en la Arena 1820 / 21. Museo del Prado, Madrid, Espa�a.
Pintura inquietante e indescifrable. Pertenece a las 14 "pinturas negras" y fu� pintada sobre la pared de una de las salas de "La Quinta del Sordo". No tiene referente hist�rico, mitol�gico o b�blico, posiblemente sea una expresi�n de su estado de �nimo, su propia desesperaci�n, angustia...
Curiosidad: �el perro se hunde en el agua o en la arena?
A disturbing and undecipherable painting. It belongs to the 14 "black paintings", and it was painted on the wall of one of the Quinta del Sordo's (the House of the Deaf Man) rooms. There's no biblical or mythological inspiration, it could be possibly an expression of his own anguish.
Curiosity: Is the dog on the sand or in the water?
