EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Which of them is more overcome?" by Francisco Goya depicts a scene from 18th century Spain, during a time of social repression and economic crisis. This artwork is part of the renowned series called Los Caprichos, which was published in 1799 and serves as a testament to Goya's political liberalism and his disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression. In this black and white etching, we see a couple engaged in courtship amidst a picturesque countryside setting. The woman, elegantly dressed in Spanish attire, stands gracefully while the man bows before her with an air of romance. However, what makes this image intriguing is the presence of an animal - a dog - who seems to be observing the situation intently. Goya's use of satire becomes evident as he questions which character in this romantic encounter is truly more overcome by their emotions. Is it the passionate woman or the enamored man? Or perhaps it is the innocent bystander represented by the observant dog? Through his artistry, Goya sheds light on societal norms and challenges conventional ideas about love and relationships. His work reflects not only his mastery as an artist but also his deep understanding of human nature within its historical context. This thought-provoking print continues to captivate viewers today with its powerful commentary on society's complexities during that era.
