EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 48 from Los Caprichos: Tale-Bearers-Blasts of Wind (Soplones. ), 1799" takes us back to the 18th century and immerses us in a world of satire and symbolism. Created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya, this etching showcases his exceptional talent for capturing complex concepts through visual storytelling. In this thought-provoking piece, Goya explores the theme of foolishness and deceit within society. The image depicts a group of men, possibly monks or friars, being blown away by powerful gusts of wind. These winds symbolize the malicious whispers or tale-bearers that spread rumors and falsehoods among people. Amongst them stands a demonic figure with wings, representing sorcery or witchcraft. Goya's masterful use of light and shadow creates an eerie atmosphere that enhances the sense of mystery surrounding these malevolent forces at play. The intricate details in each character's expression convey their fear and vulnerability as they succumb to the whimsical chaos unleashed upon them. As we observe this artwork today, it serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, societal issues such as gossiping and manipulation were prevalent. Goya's ability to blend social commentary with artistic skill makes this print not only visually stunning but also intellectually stimulating. Displayed at The Met Museum alongside other works from his series "Los Caprichos" this print is an invaluable part of our cultural heritage—a testament
