EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Do not shout you idiot, 1799" by Francisco Goya captures the essence of social and political unrest during a time of repression and crisis in Spain. Published as part of the series Los Caprichos, this artwork reflects Goya's political liberalism and his disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression. In this image, an allegorical figure representing ignorance is depicted. Cloaked in a hooded robe, she stands with an evil expression on her face, embracing the concept of ignorance. Floating above her is a grotesque monster symbolizing the consequences that arise from embracing such ignorance. Goya's satire is evident through his use of shadow to create depth and drama in the composition. The artist uses caricature to highlight the absurdity of those who perpetuate intellectual oppression within Spanish society at that time. This powerful etching serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by people living in Spain during the 18th century. It portrays their struggle against oppressive forces while shedding light on Goya's own political beliefs. As we observe this monochrome masterpiece today, it continues to resonate with its viewers due to its timeless message about standing up against injustice and fighting for knowledge and enlightenment.
