Que Locura  is an original artwork realized by the great Spanish artist Francisco Goya in 1810. Original etching on paper.

The artwork belongs to the famous print collection Los Desastres de la Guerra realized during the years of the Independence Spanish War and published for the first time in 1863, documenting all the horror and cruelty of war.

Numbered on the upper left corner. Etching n. 68.

Good conditions, except for a small rip on the lower left corner.

A friar is about to defecate after eating, as the spoon in his right hand suggests. He looks at his right, towards a pile of masks near a urinal; on the left, a messy pile of devout prints (a Virgin, the miraculous apparition of another), ex voto made of wax (for example, trousers near a crutch), and a mannequin with female clothes. In the background, in the shadow, other friars appear in procession. This plate criticizes the atavistic religious habits of the Ancien Régime; the friar lives as a lord thanks to the ignorance of the gullible and superstitious believers (symbolized by the ex voto and the images on the right) of which the clerics take advantage (symbolized by the masks).
