The Shamefaced One, 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya. This print, which belongs to the series "Los Caprichos" offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of Spain during the late 18th century. Published at a time of economic crisis and social repression, Goya's work reflects his political liberalism and disdain for intellectual oppression. In this thought-provoking image, we see a group of men sitting together in what appears to be a dimly lit room. The atmosphere suggests that it is nighttime, adding an air of mystery to the scene. The central figure, known as "The Shamefaced One" stands out with his downcast eyes and guilt-ridden expression. His posture exudes shame and remorse. Goya masterfully captures not only individual emotions but also broader concepts such as guilt and shame. Through this print, he invites viewers to reflect on their own actions within society's constraints. As we delve into this monochrome artwork from the 18th century, we are reminded of Goya's exceptional skill in using art as a medium for social commentary. "The Shamefaced One" serves as both a historical document reflecting Spain's troubled past and an enduring testament to Goya's artistic genius.
