EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya (1746-1828), a Spanish painter and printmaker, is renowned for his innovative and provocative works that challenged societal norms of his time. This print, titled "Caprices. Plaque 20: There they go plucked," is a prime example of his satirical and critical commentary on the human condition. Created during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, this engraving is part of Goya's series of Caprices, a collection of fantasies and social critiques. The image depicts a group of women, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they are being plucked like ripe fruit from a tree by unseen hands. The women's expressions range from indifference to delight, suggesting a complex commentary on the role of women in society and the acceptance of their subjugation. The use of the tree as a metaphor for societal norms and the women as the fruits of that tree, ripe for the picking, adds an additional layer of meaning to the work. Goya's Caprices were created during a tumultuous period in Spanish history, marked by the Peninsular War and the subsequent political upheaval. The artist's biting satire and critique of society were not well-received during his lifetime, and it was only after his death that his works gained widespread recognition. Today, the Prado Museum in Madrid houses a significant collection of Goya's Caprices, including this print, which continues to challenge and inspire viewers with its raw and unflinching commentary on human nature and society.
