EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya's Caprices, Plaque 61, titled "They have flown," is a poignant and thought-provoking engraving from the Spanish artist's later years. Created during the tumultuous period of 1797-1798, this print is a testament to Goya's keen social critique and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion. Born in 1746 in Fuengirola, Spain, Goya rose to prominence as a painter in the Spanish court. However, his later works, including the Caprices series, reflect a more introspective and critical perspective. In this particular print, Goya depicts a group of people taking flight, their faces contorted in various expressions of fear, surprise, and determination. The title "They have flown" suggests a sense of escape or liberation, but the image also carries undertones of anxiety and uncertainty. The Caprices series is often considered a precursor to the Romantic movement in Europe, with its emphasis on individualism, emotion, and the supernatural. The fantastical elements in the print, such as the bird-like creatures and the surreal landscape, add to the sense of otherworldliness and the uncanny. This print is now housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, a testament to Goya's enduring legacy as one of Spain's greatest artists. The Caprices series continues to captivate audiences with its raw emotional intensity and its insightful commentary on society and the human condition.
