EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Because she was susceptible, 1799" showcases the artistic brilliance of Francisco Goya. Created as Plate 32 of his renowned series Los Caprichos, this artwork emerged during a period of social repression and economic turmoil in Spain. The image portrays a young Spanish woman sitting barefoot, her long brunette hair cascading down her back. The lighting from a solitary lamp casts an ethereal glow on her face, emphasizing her vulnerability. Goya's satirical approach is evident through the exaggerated caricature-like features that highlight societal ignorance and intellectual oppression prevalent at the time. As one delves into this monochrome masterpiece, it becomes apparent that Goya's political liberalism shines through his work. His revulsion towards these oppressive forces is palpable, making this piece not just aesthetically striking but also politically charged. The artist's meticulous etching technique adds depth to every detail captured within the frame. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by women in 18th-century Spain and their resilience in navigating a society plagued by inequality. With its historical significance and thought-provoking symbolism, "Because she was susceptible" stands as a testament to Francisco Goya's mastery as an artist and his unwavering commitment to shedding light on societal issues through his art.
