Francisco de Goya and the Mirror’s Reflection

Conclusion

It is clear that Goya used mirrors to reflect the concept of harmonization of the subject with its true self. In this, the artist creates a well-rounded understanding of mirrors all symbolizing this harmonization between the material, implied aspects, and formal aspects, by using mirrors in his paintings. By use of these unconventional techniques, Francisco de Goya produced striking compositions that stand the test of time in visual tradition.
