1746 1828 Aquatint Burnished Caprichos Etching Francisco Goya Lucientes Aisa Fleeces
EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 35 of Los Caprichos, titled "She fleeces him," is a captivating etching and burnished aquatint by the Spanish master Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created in 1828. This print is a poignant representation of human folly and the perils of blind obedience, themes that are prevalent throughout Goya's groundbreaking series of 82 prints. In this image, a naive and trusting man is shown being deceived by a cunning and manipulative woman. The woman, dressed in a flowing robe and with a knowing smile, holds a large pair of shears in her hand, symbolizing the act of fleecing or taking advantage of the unsuspecting man. The man, with a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, is shown naked from the waist down, highlighting his vulnerability and lack of protection. Goya's masterful use of etching and burnishing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of three-dimensionality and bringing the characters to life. The intricate details of the man's wrinkled skin and the woman's flowing hair are rendered with remarkable precision, adding to the overall impact of the print. Los Caprichos was a revolutionary work for its time, and "She fleeces him" is a prime example of Goya's ability to capture the complexities of human nature and the consequences of our actions. This print remains a powerful and thought-provoking work of art that continues to resonate with audiences today.
