EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Plate 72, from Los Caprichos: You will not escape (No te escaparas. ), 1799 - A Satirical Dance of Folly". This black and white etching by Francisco Goya, titled "Plate 72, from Los Caprichos: You will not escape (No te escaparas. )" showcases the artist's satirical genius in capturing the foolishness of human behavior. Created in the late 18th century, this artwork is a testament to Goya's mastery as an etcher. In this scene, we witness a young woman dancing with wild abandon amidst a crowd of onlookers. However, upon closer inspection, we realize that she is not just any ordinary dancer; she embodies both innocence and demonic allure simultaneously. Her graceful movements belie her true nature as a demoness who lures unsuspecting individuals into her spellbinding dance. Goya's use of intricate details and expressive lines brings forth the absurdity and silliness inherent in our actions. The composition serves as a biting social commentary on society's tendency to be easily swayed by superficial charms or deceptive appearances. As one of Spain's most renowned artists, Goya often used his art to critique societal norms and expose human folly. This print from his series Los Caprichos exemplifies his ability to blend satire with artistic brilliance. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as a reminder that even centuries later, Goya's work continues to captivate audiences
