Plate 18 from Los Caprichos - And his house is on fire (Ysele quema la Casa. ), 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Francisco Goya's satirical masterpiece, "Los Caprichos". Plate 18, titled "And his house is on fire" transports us to the foolishness and irresponsibility of eighteenth-century Spain. In this etching, we witness a man consumed by alcoholism. Drunkenness has rendered him oblivious to the chaos surrounding him - his own home engulfed in flames. The burning furniture and billowing smoke serve as potent symbols of destruction caused by his addiction. Goya's masterful use of light and shadow emphasizes the man's disheveled appearance, highlighted by torn clothing and trousers barely clinging onto him. His drunken state is further accentuated by an unsteady posture as he sits slumped in a chair, lost in his own world. The artist's sharp satire exposes not only the individual but also comments on societal issues prevalent during that era. Through this poignant image, Goya challenges our perception of responsibility while shedding light on the consequences of excessive drinking. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of Goya's ability to confront uncomfortable truths with artistic brilliance. This piece serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Spain's most influential painters.
