EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "God forgive her, and it was her mother, 1799" captures a powerful moment in art history. Created by the renowned artist Francisco Goya as part of his series Los Caprichos, this black and white etching reflects the social repression and economic crisis that plagued Spain during the late 18th century. Plate 16 of Los Caprichos exemplifies Goya's political liberalism and his disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression. The image portrays a full-length satire of a mother walking with her daughter in traditional Spanish attire. The woman is depicted wearing a shawl while holding a fan, symbolizing both femininity and societal expectations. Goya's mastery lies in his ability to convey complex emotions through simple yet profound imagery. In this piece, he explores themes of family dynamics, influence, and the concept of forgiveness.

It stands as an enduring testament to Goya's genius as well as his unwavering commitment to using art as a
