They are hot, 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Francisco Goya. This particular piece, Plate 13 of Los Caprichos, was created during a time of social repression and economic crisis in Spain. Goya's political liberalism and disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression are evident throughout this series. In this image, we witness a group of elderly men sitting around a table inside an elegant interior. The atmosphere seems tense as they engage in conversation while being served by a caricatured waiter. The concept behind this artwork revolves around the theme of ignorance, symbolized by the elderly men who appear oblivious to their surroundings. Goya's masterful etching technique brings out intricate details on each character's face, emphasizing their age and wisdom but also highlighting their blindness to the issues plaguing society at that time. The monochrome palette adds depth to the scene, enhancing its satirical nature. This print transports us back to 18th-century Spain when societal divisions were starkly apparent. It serves as both a historical document capturing the country's socio-political climate and an artistic expression challenging intellectual oppression. "They are hot, 1799" is not just an ordinary photograph; it is an embodiment of Goya's genius as he fearlessly used his art to critique societal norms and advocate for change.
