EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 80 from Los Caprichos: It is time (Ya es hora. ) by Francisco Goya captures the essence of religious satire in 18th-century Spain. In this black and white etching, Goya skillfully portrays a scene that challenges the foolishness and hypocrisy within Christianity. The image depicts a group of clergy members, including bishops and friars, waking up from their slumber. As they stretch their legs and yawn, it becomes evident that these religious figures are not as pious as one might expect. Goya's sharp wit shines through as he exposes the absurdity of those who claim to be devoted to God but fail to live up to their own teachings. Goya's mastery of etching brings depth and detail to each figure, emphasizing their humanity while simultaneously mocking their actions. The artist's use of black and white adds an air of seriousness to the composition, enhancing its satirical impact. This print from Los Caprichos serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power can succumb to folly. It challenges viewers to question blind faith and encourages them to seek genuine spirituality beyond mere appearances. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece by Francisco Goya continues to provoke thought and spark conversations about religion, society, and human nature.
