The Proverbs: If Marion Will Dance, Then She Has to Take the Consequences, 1864. Creator

The Proverbs: If Marion Will Dance, Then She Has to Take the Consequences, 1864. The freewheeling, lascivious dancers in Goyas composion keep time with castanets, pairs of shellshaped wooden clappers attached to the thumb and index finger. The erotic connotations of castanets dated from antiquity, when they were depicted in vase paintings in association with the cult of the goddess Cybele and the Dionysian rites. According to Martin Mersennes treatise, Les Preludes de l harmonie universelle (1636), castanets were used to accompany the saraband, a fast folk dance considered disreputable in 16th century Spain. Although by the time the saraband reached the French court in the 17th century, it had become a slow, serious, processional dance, Goya refers here to the dances earlier, erotic origins
