EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases plate 60 of Los caprichos, a groundbreaking series of etchings created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya y Lucientes in 1799. The image, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into Goya's unparalleled talent for social criticism and his ability to provoke thought through art. In this particular etching, Goya delves into the realm of witchcraft and devilry. The composition is filled with symbolism as it portrays an eerie scene featuring a goat-headed Satan surrounded by an apprentice-like figure holding a cat and a skull. This satirical portrayal serves as both entertainment and education, inviting viewers to reflect upon societal vices and moral lessons. Goya's mastery lies in his ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling.
