"Esope" is a notable painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created around 1820-1823. This work is part of Goya's series of "Black Paintings" (Pinturas Negras), a collection of 14 intense and haunting pieces that adorned the walls of his home, Quinta del Sordo (House of the Deaf Man), near Madrid. The "Black Paintings" are characterized by their dark themes, somber tones, and the profound sense of pessimism that pervades them, reflecting Goya's disillusionment with society and the turmoil of his time.

"Esope" depicts the ancient Greek fabulist Aesop, known for his moralistic fables. In this painting, Goya presents Aesop as an elderly, disheveled man, dressed in ragged clothing, holding a book or manuscript, which symbolizes his literary contributions. The figure's expression is one of contemplation and melancholy, resonating with the overall mood of the "Black Paintings." The background is dark and undefined, focusing the viewer's attention on the solitary figure of Aesop, emphasizing his isolation and the weight of his wisdom.

Goya's "Black Paintings" were not commissioned works; they were personal expressions created during a period of illness and political instability in Spain. The artist's deafness, combined with the horrors of the Peninsular War and the oppressive regime of Ferdinand VII, profoundly influenced these works. "Esope," like the other paintings in the series, was transferred to canvas from the walls of Goya's home after his death and is now housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

The painting is a powerful example of Goya's later work, showcasing his mastery in conveying complex human emotions and his ability to capture the darker aspects of the human condition. "Esope" remains a significant piece in the study of Goya's oeuvre and the evolution of European art during the early 19th century.
