"Los Proverbios" or "Los Disparates" is a series of prints by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828), created in the later years of his life, between 1815 and 1824. This series, consisting of 22 prints, is known for its enigmatic and often surreal imagery, reflecting Goya's critical perspective on the social, political, and cultural issues of his time. The works are executed in the aquatint and etching techniques, showcasing Goya's mastery in creating dramatic tonal effects and intricate details.

The title "Los Proverbios" (The Proverbs) is somewhat misleading, as the images do not directly illustrate traditional proverbs. Instead, they depict fantastical visions, nightmarish scenes, and satirical commentaries on the folly and vice of human behavior. It was Goya's friend, the artist Ceán Bermúdez, who first referred to the series as "Los Proverbios" in a catalogue, but the prints themselves were posthumously published in 1864 under the title "Los Disparates" (The Follies or The Absurdities), which many scholars believe more accurately reflects the thematic content of the series.

"Los Disparates" is considered one of Goya's most complex and enigmatic works, inviting various interpretations. The series delves into themes of irrationality, superstition, and the grotesque, often employing allegorical and symbolic elements. These prints are seen as a precursor to the Surrealist movement of the 20th century, influencing artists such as Salvador Dalí and André Breton with their dream-like quality and exploration of the subconscious.

Goya's use of dark humor and grotesque imagery in "Los Disparates" serves as a powerful critique of the turbulent social and political climate of Spain during the early 19th century, including the Peninsular War and the subsequent restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. The series reflects Goya's disillusionment with the rationalist ideals of the Enlightenment, portraying a world where reason is overpowered by folly and chaos.

Today, "Los Proverbios" or "Los Disparates" is celebrated for its artistic innovation and its profound insight into the human condition. The series remains a subject of extensive scholarly interest and is considered a significant contribution to the Romantic movement in art. The prints are held in various prestigious collections around the world, continuing to fascinate and challenge viewers with their mysterious and provocative imagery.
