"Go Between: A Journey Through Art and Etchings" In the world of art, there exists a captivating theme known as the "go between. " It is a concept that transcends time and cultures, weaving its way through various mediums to tell stories of connection, manipulation, and human interaction. One such representation can be found in Francisco Goya's etching titled "She prays for her, " plate 31 of Los caprichos from 1799. In this haunting image, we witness a woman fervently praying for another's well-being. The go-between here acts as an intermediary between the mortal realm and the divine. Moving forward to plate 15 of Los caprichos, pub. 1799 by Goya again, we encounter "Wonderful advice. " Here, a mysterious figure imparts wisdom upon others. This enigmatic character serves as a conduit for knowledge and guidance. The riddle continues with plate 11 of Proverbs from 1819-23 (pub. 1864), aptly named "Riddle of the poor. " Within this etching lies an intricate puzzle waiting to be solved—a challenge presented by those who have little but possess great wisdom hidden beneath their struggles. As we delve deeper into Goya's work with plate 27 of Los caprichos from 1799 titled "Which of them is more overcome?, " we are confronted with two figures locked in an intense struggle. The go-between becomes an arbitrator in this battle between conflicting forces—each vying for dominance over the other. Plate 17 presents us with another facet of the go-between concept in Goya's Los caprichos series. Titled "It is nicely stretched, " it portrays individuals caught within societal constraints—an invisible hand pulling strings behind closed doors. "Hush. " whispers plate 28 from Los caprichos (pub. 1799).
