EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Poor little girls!" captures the essence of Francisco Goya's artistic genius and political activism. Created in 1799 as part of his renowned series Los Caprichos, this black and white etching reflects the social repression and economic crisis that plagued Spain during that time. Goya's plate 22 depicts a group of unrecognizable young girls walking together, their fate seemingly sealed by the ominous atmosphere surrounding them. The artist's satire is evident as he criticizes ignorance and intellectual oppression prevalent in society. Through his masterful use of monochrome art media, Goya portrays these poor girls with full-length detail, emphasizing their destitution and vulnerability. Their tattered clothes and hoods symbolize poverty while also representing the societal constraints imposed upon them. In this powerful image, Goya challenges traditional gender roles by highlighting the plight of women in Spanish society. He exposes the harsh realities faced by females during this period, shedding light on their marginalized status. As we contemplate this thought-provoking artwork from the eighteenth century, it serves as a reminder of both historical struggles and ongoing social issues worldwide. Francisco Goya's print continues to resonate today as a testament to his unwavering commitment to political liberalism and his condemnation of injustice.
