The Story in the Margin
Painted around 1806, this small panel by Francisco de Goya (1746–1828) tells part of a real, sensational story: the notorious bandit El Maragato, who had taken a friar and other travelers hostage, was outsmarted, shot and finally bound with rope by Friar Pedro de Zaldivia. Goya turned the popular tale — celebrated in songs and prints across Spain — into a series of six small, lively paintings made largely for his own pleasure. This scene is now held at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. My only regret is not ordering sooner.
I was nervous about ordering art online and this went smoothly. Everything I like about Friar Pedro Binds El Maragato with a Rope is here and legible. It has made the upstairs hallway feel more finished.
This is the rare purchase that looks better in person than online. The smallest marks in Friar Pedro Binds El Maragato with a Rope are still visible, which is the entire point. This shop has a customer for life in me.
It is a very good poster that costs a bit more than it should. There was a note in the box that made it feel like a person packed it. It cost about twenty dollars more than I wanted to spend and I don't regret it. It has already paid for itself in compliments.
Good value for something this size. The scan behind Friar Pedro Binds El Maragato with a Rope is clean, with no obvious artifacts. The paper on this poster took a frame without any trimming. Worth the money overall.
