EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "And his house is on fire, 1799" captures a powerful moment in history through the artistic lens of Francisco Goya. This image, dating back to the 18th century, showcases Goya's satirical approach towards social repression and intellectual oppression prevalent during that time in Spain. In Plate 18 of Los Caprichos, Goya's political liberalism shines through as he depicts a scene filled with chaos and turmoil. A bald man stands amidst flames engulfing his home, symbolizing the dire state of affairs in Spanish society. His undone trousers and overweight figure add an element of caricature to this poignant artwork. Goya's mastery over etching brings out every detail - from the furniture burning in the background to the chair upon which the man stands helplessly. Through this visual narrative, Goya conveys his revulsion towards ignorance while shedding light on economic crisis gripping Spain at that period. This monochrome print serves as a reminder of how art can be used as a medium for social commentary. It transports us back to a time when societal unrest prevailed and challenges us to reflect upon our own present-day circumstances. As we gaze at this thought-provoking image by Francisco Goya, we are reminded of both our capacity for change and our responsibility to fight against injustice.
