EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Chiton, plate from Los Caprichos" by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes. Created in 1799 using etching and aquatint techniques, this piece measures 32x22 cm and is part of a private collection. The image captures a moment of intrigue and secrecy as an elderly woman leans in close to whisper something confidential to her confidante. The composition exudes a sense of mystery with its macabre undertones and surreal elements. Goya's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the weariness on the faces of both women. As part of his series "Los Caprichos" this print explores themes such as humor, femininity, romance, and secrecy. It invites viewers into a world where secrets are shared behind closed doors, creating an air of suspense that captivates our imagination. This particular print is considered one of the very good impressions from the First Edition published by Goya himself in 1799. With only approximately three hundred impressions made at that time, it holds great historical significance for art enthusiasts. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless artwork through their photography expertise. This print allows us to appreciate Goya's exceptional talent while preserving his legacy for generations to come.
