EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Correction, 1799" by Francisco Goya is a powerful representation of the artist's political liberalism and disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression. Created as Plate 46 of his renowned series Los Caprichos, this artwork was published during a time of social repression and economic crisis in Spain. In this haunting image, we see an elderly lady sitting calmly while repairing clothes. The monochrome setting adds to the eerie atmosphere surrounding her. A winged figure hovers above her, symbolizing correction or judgment. This mysterious presence hints at the theme of witchcraft prevalent during that era. Goya's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this etching; he skillfully captures the wrinkles on the woman's face, emphasizing her age and wisdom. Her country dress reflects traditional Spanish attire from the eighteenth century. The overall composition evokes a sense of unease and serves as a visual nightmare depicting societal issues faced during that period. Through his art media expertise, Goya conveys his revulsion towards intellectual oppression prevailing in society at that time. This print offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing Goya's artistic brilliance and thought-provoking concepts. It reminds us how art can serve as both documentation and commentary on significant moments in our collective pasts.
