Goya’s etchings known as the Disparates (usually translated as "Follies," although a word like "Irrationalities" would be closer to the Spanish) are the first series Arthur Ross bought for the foundation. The twenty-two images, made around 1816–19, are Goya’s last etched series, and like the Disasters of War they were not published in his lifetime—presumably for fear of the Inquisition. Although the Disparates series is less straightforwardly pessimistic than the Disasters, with its horror piled upon horror, the grotesque creatures and inexplicable phenomena that make this the most enigmatic of Goya’s series also impart to it an ominous and foreboding character that is profoundly unnerving. These eighteen images were published by the Real Academia de Nobles Artes de San Fernando in 1864; four additional plates, which had been separated from the rest, were published in Paris in 1877.
