EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya's Caprices, a series of 82 etchings produced between 1797 and 1798, are considered some of the most innovative and thought-provoking works of the late 18th century. This particular print, Plaque 74, titled "Don't Scream, Stupid," is a prime example of Goya's satirical and critical take on society during the tumultuous years of the Spanish Peninsular War. Born in 1746 in Fuengirola, Spain, Goya rose to prominence as a painter in the royal court of Charles III. However, his artistic vision began to shift during the late 18th century, as he became increasingly critical of the social and political climate of his time. The Caprices reflect this newfound perspective, with their fantastical and often grotesque imagery. Plaque 74 depicts a figure with a large, distorted face, wearing a traditional Spanish hat and holding a whip. The figure is standing over a smaller, terrified figure, who is covering his ears and screaming. The caption "Don't Scream, Stupid" is written above the scene, adding to the sense of absurdity and irony. The Caprices were not published until after Goya's death in 1828, and they were initially met with criticism and controversy. Some saw the works as a critique of the Spanish government and its treatment of its people, while others found them to be too dark and unsettling. Today, however, they are celebrated as groundbreaking works of Romanticism and a testament to Goya's artistic vision and courage. This print, part of the vast collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid, is a reminder of the power of art to challenge and provoke, even in the most difficult of times. It is a testament to Goya's enduring influence and his place in the history of European art.
