Plate 33 from Los Caprichos - To the Count Palatine (Al Conde Palatino. ), 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the aristocratic world of 18th-century Spain, where Francisco Goya's satirical genius comes to life. In this etching from his renowned series "Los Caprichos". Goya skillfully portrays a scene filled with foolishness and suffering. The image depicts a man, presumably an aristocrat or count palatine, sitting in agony while having his teeth pulled by a charlatan dentist. The patient's face contorts with pain as he endures this painful procedure, symbolizing not only physical suffering but also the metaphorical anguish caused by deceitful individuals who exploit others for their own gain. Goya's biting satire is evident in every detail of this artwork. Through his masterful use of etching techniques, he captures the absurdity of quack medicine and highlights the gullibility of those who fall victim to it. This piece serves as a scathing critique of both the medical profession and society at large during that era. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking photograph print, we are transported to a time when health was precarious, dentistry was primitive, and people were susceptible to manipulation. It reminds us of our shared human vulnerability and serves as a testament to Goya's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest artists.
