EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases plate 41 of Los caprichos, a renowned series of etchings created by the talented artist Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes in 1799. Measuring 20x15.2 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection and can be found in the Index Fototeca. Goya's masterpiece delves into social criticism with its satirical depiction of vanity and flattery. The image portrays an easel adorned with an assortment of animals, including a monkey and an ass. Through his masterful engraving skills, Goya cleverly captures the essence of pride and pretension. The composition evokes strong emotions as it explores the theme of human folly through the lens of seven deadly sins. The monkey symbolizes our primal instincts while the ass represents foolishness or stubbornness. Together, they serve as powerful metaphors for our flawed nature. Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes was a prominent Spanish painter known for his thought-provoking works that often challenged societal norms. His ability to convey complex emotions through art has made him one of Europe's most celebrated artists. In this remarkable piece, Goya invites us to reflect on our own feelings and behaviors by presenting several animals as mirrors to humanity's flaws. It serves as a reminder that despite our advancements, we are still bound by our innate animalistic tendencies. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Goya's genius up close and offers insight into his artistic
