1746 1828 Caprichos Francisco Goya Lucientes Preparatory Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This preparatory drawing for plate 32 of Francisco de Goya's groundbreaking series, "Los Caprichos," offers a glimpse into the creative process of one of the most influential artists in Spanish history. Created in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a collection of 80 etchings that satirically criticize the social and political issues of Goya's time. This particular drawing serves as a preliminary study for the final etching, which bears the title "Aisa, or the Witches' Sabbath." The image depicts a chaotic scene of witches and demons gathered around a cauldron, with a figure in the foreground holding a broom and a large, menacing creature looming behind. The intricacy of the drawing, with its fine lines and detailed shading, reveals Goya's mastery of the medium. The preparatory drawing also provides insight into the artist's thought process, as he worked out the composition and details of the scene before transferring it to the etching plate. Goya's "Los Caprichos" is considered a seminal work in the history of art, and this preparatory drawing offers a rare look into the mind of the artist as he brought his bold and innovative vision to life. The series challenged the conventions of the time and paved the way for the Romantic movement in Spanish art. This drawing is a testament to Goya's artistic genius and his ability to use his work as a vehicle for social commentary and critique.
