They say yes and give their hand to the first comer
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, taken from his renowned series "Los caprichos". This satirical artwork, published in 1799, offers a scathing critique of societal norms surrounding marriage. In this particular plate, Goya portrays a wedding ceremony where the bride eagerly extends her hand to the first suitor who comes along. The artist's sharp wit and keen observation are evident as he highlights the superficiality and haste with which some individuals enter into matrimony. The composition showcases Goya's exceptional engraving skills, capturing intricate details such as the elaborate wedding dress worn by the bride. Through his masterful technique, he brings forth an array of emotions - from anticipation to skepticism - on the faces of those present at this unconventional union. Goya's work often delves into social commentary, challenging traditional customs and exposing human follies. With "They say yes and give their hand to the first comer" he invites viewers to question societal pressures that dictate one's worth based solely on marital status. This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder that true love should not be rushed or determined by external influences but rather founded on genuine connection and mutual understanding. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are compelled to reflect upon our own perceptions of marriage and consider whether we too have fallen victim to society's whimsical demands.
