Plate 67 from Los Caprichos - Wait till you've been anointed (Aguarda que te unten), 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this intriguing black and white etching by Francisco Goya, we are transported to the whimsical world of Los Caprichos. The image depicts a scene filled with fantastical elements and satirical undertones. At the center of the composition stands a foolish-looking man, his body covered in ointment. He anxiously awaits his anointment, surrounded by bizarre creatures that seem to have emerged from a dream or nightmare. A goat-like monster gazes intently at him while an old woman holds a paintbrush, ready to apply the mysterious substance. Goya's mastery is evident in his attention to detail; every line etched on the bodies and faces of these unusual characters adds depth and texture to their portrayal. The contrast between light and shadow creates a haunting atmosphere, enhancing the sense of absurdity within this surreal realm. Los Caprichos was Goya's artistic response to societal issues during Spain's tumultuous eighteenth century. Through satire and symbolism, he critiqued various aspects of Spanish life including superstition, ignorance, and corruption. This print serves as a reminder of Goya's unique vision and his ability to capture both beauty and darkness within human nature. It invites us into a world where reality blends with fantasy, encouraging contemplation about our own follies as individuals living in society. Displayed at The Metropolit Museum of
