Plate 74 from Los Caprichos - Don't Scream, Stupid
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white etching by Francisco Goya, we are transported to the whimsical world of his renowned series, Los Caprichos. Plate 74 titled "Don't scream, stupid" is a satirical commentary on foolishness and the absurdity of human behavior. The scene depicts a young woman named Francisca who finds herself in an extraordinary situation. Floating above her is a mischievous goblin-like creature with wings, representing folly or foolishness. The woman's expression reveals her surprise and confusion as she encounters this mythical beast. Goya's masterful use of etching techniques brings depth and texture to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. The intricate details capture our attention – from the monk observing in astonishment to the subtle expressions on their faces that convey both humor and satire. Through this artwork, Goya invites us to reflect upon our own follies and irrational behaviors. It serves as a cautionary tale against acting without reason or thoughtfulness. As we gaze at this remarkable print from the 18th century, we are reminded of Goya's genius in capturing human nature through his art. His ability to blend mythology with social critique showcases his unique vision as an artist. This piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to captivate audiences with its unusual subject matter and timeless message about human folly.
