EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya's Caprices, a series of 82 etchings, is considered one of the most profound and enigmatic works of the Spanish artist. Created between 1797 and 1798 during the tumultuous period of the Peninsular War, these prints reflect Goya's biting social critique and dark sense of humor. Plaque 6, titled "Nobody knows himself," is a prime example of the artist's mastery of the medium. In this image, a masked figure, wearing a mascarade mask, is shown in the midst of a lively party. The figure, with a quizzical expression, holds a mirror in front of his face, seemingly in contemplation. The title "Nobody knows himself" adds an air of introspection and self-reflection to the image. Goya's use of the mask as a symbol of disguise and deception is a common theme in his Caprices series. The mask also serves as a metaphor for the complexities of human nature and the duality of identity. The party scene, filled with revelers, adds a layer of satire and social commentary, highlighting the hypocrisy and superficiality of society. The Caprices series is often considered a precursor to the Romantic movement in Europe, with its emphasis on individualism, introspection, and the exploration of the human condition. Goya's innovative use of the etching medium and his bold, expressive style continue to inspire artists and art lovers to this day. This print of Plaque 6, "Nobody knows himself," is part of the extensive collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The museum, founded in 1819, is home to an unparalleled collection of European art, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Spain and Europe. The Caprices series is a testament to Goya's enduring influence and his place in the annals of art history.
