EDITORS COMMENTS
193-0082163 Look how solemn they are!, plate 63 of Los caprichos, 1799 (etching) captures the essence of social criticism and satirical art by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes. In this thought-provoking print, Goya presents a powerful commentary on human ambition and its consequences. The image features a bird-faced figure, symbolizing greed and ambition, standing alongside an ass-like creature. Both figures exude an air of solemnity as they gaze into the distance. The juxtaposition between the elegant bird face and the humble donkey body highlights the absurdity of unchecked ambition. Goya's masterful engraving technique brings out intricate details in this bestial representation. The lines etched with precision convey a sense of depth and texture to each element in the composition. As one delves deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that Goya is not merely portraying animals but using them as metaphors for human behavior. Through his sharp wit and artistic skill, he exposes our own follies and warns against blind pursuit of power or success. This piece serves as a testament to Goya's genius as both a painter and an artist who fearlessly challenged societal norms through his works. It reminds us that art has always been a powerful medium for social critique throughout history.
