EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya's Caprices, Plaque 32, also known as "Because She Was Susceptible," is a powerful and enigmatic engraving from the Spanish master's later years. Created during the tumultuous period of 1797-1798, this print is a testament to Goya's unique vision and his ability to critique society through his art. The image depicts a woman, dressed in the fashion of the late 18th century, reclining on a bed with a melancholic expression on her face. She is surrounded by various objects, including a fan, a fanon, and a mirror, which suggest the vanity and superficiality of the aristocratic world. The title "Because She Was Susceptible" implies that the woman is vulnerable to the whims and fashions of her time, and the engraving can be seen as a commentary on the emptiness and superficiality of the Spanish aristocracy during the late 18th century. Goya's Caprices series, which includes over 80 prints, is considered a seminal work of the Romantic period in Europe. These fantasies, satirical takeoffs on contemporary life, reflect the artist's disillusionment with society and his desire to challenge conventional norms. The Caprices were not well received during Goya's lifetime and were largely ignored until the late 19th century, when they were rediscovered and celebrated as groundbreaking works of art. This print is now housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The Prado Museum, founded in 1819, is one of the oldest and most comprehensive art museums in Europe, and it is home to an unparalleled collection of Spanish art from the 12th to the 20th centuries. The Caprices of Francisco Goya are a highlight of the museum's holdings, and they continue to be a source of fascination and intrigue for art lovers and scholars alike.
