Wait till you've been anointed, 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Francisco Goya that showcases his political liberalism and disdain for societal repression. This artwork belongs to the series called Los Caprichos, which was published during a time of economic crisis and social oppression in Spain. In this grotesque yet thought-provoking image, an elderly woman sits on a chair while holding a goat. The woman's nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and her role as a scapegoat in society. The goat, often associated with ignorance and farce, represents intellectual oppression. Goya's satire is evident through his caricature-like portrayal of both the woman and the animal. Through this visual commentary, he criticizes the royalty and politics of Spain during the 18th century. The artist uses etching as his chosen art media to create intricate details that emphasize the ugliness of ignorance within society. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to Goya's message by stripping away distractions from color. It allows viewers to focus solely on the concept being conveyed - one of social comment and political revolt against intellectual oppression. "Wait till you've been anointed, 1799" serves as a powerful reminder of Goya's artistic genius in capturing complex themes through visually striking images. It stands as evidence of his unwavering commitment to challenging societal norms while shedding light on important issues prevalent at that time in Spanish history.
