EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating etching titled "Out hunting for teeth, plate 12 of Los caprichos" by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes takes us on a journey into the realm of superstition and social criticism. This satirical artwork, published in 1799, delves into the dark corners of witchcraft and occult science. In this intriguing scene, we witness a hanged man surrounded by witches engaged in an eerie ritual. The atmosphere is thick with mysticism as these sorceresses gather to perform their incantations during the witches' Sabbath. Death looms over them all, symbolizing the consequences that may arise from dabbling in forbidden arts. Goya's masterful engraving skillfully captures both the macabre and humorous aspects of this subject matter. Through his artistry, he criticizes society's fascination with supernatural practices while simultaneously shedding light on its dangers. This thought-provoking print measures 21.9x15.3 cm and belongs to a private collection. It serves as a testament to Goya's talent as an artist who fearlessly explored themes that were often considered taboo during his time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded of Goya's ability to provoke contemplation through his works of art. His legacy endures as one of Spain's most celebrated painters, leaving behind a rich artistic heritage that continues to captivate audiences across Europe and beyond.
