EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 71 from Los Caprichos: When day breaks we will be off (Si amanece; nos Vamos), 1799, captures the essence of Francisco Goya's satirical genius. In this black and white etching, Goya presents a thought-provoking scene that reflects the foolishness and stupidity of human behavior. The image portrays an old woman, naked and vulnerable in the night, surrounded by witches engaged in witchcraft. The absurdity of their actions is heightened by the contrast between their supernatural activities and the mundane reality of everyday life. Goya's use of nudity challenges societal norms while emphasizing vulnerability and exposing our inherent foolishness. Through his masterful technique, Goya invites viewers to question their own beliefs and behaviors. He cleverly uses satire to critique Spanish society during the eighteenth century, highlighting its flaws with sharp wit and biting humor. This print from Los Caprichos exemplifies Goya's ability to capture complex concepts within a single frame. It serves as a testament to his artistic legacy as one of Spain's most influential painters. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless message about human nature. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it reminds us that folly knows no bounds – whether it be in eighteenth-century Spain or our modern world.
