EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya's Caprices, Plaque 17, is a striking and thought-provoking engraving from the late 18th century, currently housed at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The nicely stretched print showcases the masterful technique and artistic vision of one of Europe's most influential painters. Born in 1746 in Fuendetodos, Aragon, Goya rose to prominence during the 18th century, a time of great social and political change in Europe. His Caprices series, created between 1797 and 1798, reflects the artist's biting satire and critical commentary on society. This particular print, Plaque 17, is a prime example of Goya's ability to challenge societal norms and provoke thought through his fantasies and takeoffs. The image depicts a nude figure, seemingly suspended in mid-air, with a devilish creature holding a rope attached to its tail, pulling the figure upwards. The scene is filled with a sense of chaos and the unknown, as other fantastical creatures and bizarre figures populate the background. The dark and ominous mood of the print is a reflection of the tumultuous times in which Goya lived, as Spain grappled with the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and the dawn of the Romantic era. Goya's Caprices, Plaque 17, is a testament to the artist's innovative use of engraving as a medium for expressing his unique vision. The print's intricate details and bold lines continue to captivate viewers, making it an essential piece of European art history and a must-see at the Prado Museum in Madrid.
