Francisco de Goya, “Aun aprendo” (“I am still learning”), 1824-26, drawing, black chalk, 191 x 145 mm, Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado Goya’s curiosity and his ability to explore the world through his art are marvelously shown in this drawing, which he made late in his life. It is the image of a man who is old and frail and needs of two sticks to walk. It’s accompanied by an inscription that reads “Aun aprendo” or “I’m still learning”. Aged about 80 years old, he seems rebellious, in this case against his age; as fascinated as ever with everything around him. -- source link
