EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Until death, 1799" captures the essence of Francisco Goya's artistic genius. Taken from Plate 55 of his renowned series Los Caprichos, this artwork was published during a time of social repression and economic crisis in Spain. Goya's political liberalism and disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression are vividly portrayed in this satirical piece. The scene unfolds in a grand room adorned with court furniture, where a group of elegantly dressed women gather around a dressing table. A sense of vanity permeates the air as they meticulously attend to their appearances. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to create depth, emphasizing the intricate details on each woman's dress. Their admiration for one another is evident through their expressions as they engage in conversation amidst an atmosphere charged with social commentary. Through this thought-provoking etching, Goya invites us to reflect upon the complexities of Spanish society during the 18th century. He challenges traditional norms by highlighting the superficiality that often accompanies positions of power within law courts and aristocratic circles. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness Goya's masterful portrayal of human nature. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an instrument for expressing dissenting voices against societal injustices - even centuries ago when Spain faced its own tumultuous period.
