Plate 24 from Los Caprichos - Nothing could be done about It (Nohubo remedio. ), 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Francisco Goya, titled "Plate 24 from Los Caprichos: Nothing could be done about It" transports us to the whimsical world of 18th-century Spain. The artist's satirical genius shines through as he mocks the foolishness and absurdity of his society. In this scene, we witness a donkey dressed in human clothing, complete with a dunce cap on its head. Tied up and surrounded by people, it becomes a symbol of ridicule and mockery. Goya's sharp wit exposes the folly of those who believe they can control or change their circumstances when nothing can truly be done about them. The intricate details in this print showcase Goya's mastery of etching technique. Every line speaks volumes, capturing not only the physical appearance but also the essence of each character portrayed. Through his artistry, Goya invites us to reflect on our own follies and question societal norms that may seem nonsensical or oppressive. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded that satire has long been an essential tool for social commentary. Goya's work continues to resonate today as a testament to the enduring power of art in challenging conventions and inspiring critical thinking.
