Plate 13 from Los Caprichos - They are Hot (Estan Calientes), 1797-98 - A Satirical Take on Foolishness and Hunger in 18th Century Spain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Francisco Goya, titled "Plate 13 from Los Caprichos: They are Hot (Estan Calientes)", offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the foolishness of human behavior during the late 18th century. Set in a country refectory, the scene depicts a group of hungry friars indulging in their meal with laughter and mirth. Goya's satire is evident as he mocks both religious figures and society at large. The men, dressed as monks, represent Christian values but seem to prioritize their own hunger over spiritual contemplation. Their expressions of delight while devouring their food highlight the absurdity of such gluttony within a religious context. The artist's masterful use of etching techniques brings depth to this image, capturing every intricate detail with precision. Goya's signature style shines through his skillful rendering of light and shadow, creating an atmosphere that draws viewers into this satirical world. As we gaze upon this artwork today at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or any other location where it is displayed, we are reminded not only of Goya's artistic genius but also his ability to critique societal norms. Through "Plate 13 from Los Caprichos", he invites us to reflect on our own follies
