EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya's Caprices, a series of 82 etchings created between 1797 and 1798, represent a groundbreaking body of work in European art history. This particular print, Plaque 48, titled "Big Gusts," is a prime example of Goya's innovative and satirical approach to commenting on society during the late 18th century. Goya, a Spanish painter and printmaker, was known for his biting critiques of the political and social climate of his time. In this print, he captures the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the elements, with a tempestuous wind sweeping away a group of people, leaving only their disheveled clothing and belongings behind. The title "Big Gusts" suggests the destructive power of nature, but it can also be interpreted as a commentary on the unpredictability and capriciousness of human behavior and societal norms. The Caprices series was created during a time of great political upheaval in Spain, with the Peninsular War looming on the horizon. Goya's bold and provocative imagery was a takeoff from the traditional themes of the time, and his use of etching as a medium allowed him to explore the darker aspects of human nature and society with a level of detail and nuance that was unprecedented. The Prado Museum in Madrid is home to the largest collection of Goya's works, including this striking print of Plaque 48, "Big Gusts." This image continues to captivate and challenge viewers, offering a glimpse into the complex and often controversial world of one of Spain's most influential artists. The Caprices series remains an enduring testament to Goya's artistic vision and his unflinching critique of the world around him.
