All Will Fall, 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Francisco Goya that leaves a lasting impression. This artwork, Plate 19 of Los Caprichos, was created during a period of social repression and economic crisis in Spain. Goya's political liberalism and disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression are evident throughout this series. In this thought-provoking image, we witness a group of wealthy upper-class women sitting around a tree. Their wings symbolize their elevated status and privilege. However, instead of using their power to uplift society, they engage in cruel acts towards nature and humanity. One woman can be seen poking the body of another with a stick while others vomit on the ground or fly aimlessly above. This satirical portrayal highlights the absurdity of those who abuse their wealth without considering the consequences it has on others. Goya's etching skillfully captures both horror and cruelty in this scene. The monochrome palette adds to its haunting atmosphere, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow. "All Will Fall" serves as an important reminder that no matter how powerful or wealthy one may be, everyone is susceptible to downfall if they neglect empathy and compassion for their fellow beings. It stands as an enduring critique against societal injustices prevalent not only in 18th-century Spain but also resonates with contemporary issues worldwide.
