Plate 61 from Los Caprichos - They have flown (Volaverunt. ), 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Francisco Goya transports us to the whimsical world of 18th-century Spain. The print, part of the renowned series Los Caprichos, showcases Goya's exceptional talent for satire and his keen eye for societal absurdities. In this particular plate, we witness a peculiar scene that defies logic and reason. A young woman dressed in traditional Spanish attire takes center stage, her mantilla flowing behind her as if caught in an invisible gust of wind. But what truly captures our attention are the unexpected wings sprouting from her back - a fantastical element that hints at witchcraft or perhaps foolishness. Surrounded by bullfighters and other figures representative of Spanish culture, this enigmatic woman challenges convention with her unusual ability to fly. Is she a symbol of female empowerment? Or does she represent society's fascination with the supernatural? Goya's masterful use of etching techniques brings depth and texture to every detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this intriguing composition. As we contemplate Plate 61 from Los Caprichos: They have flown (Volaverunt. ), we are reminded that art has the power to challenge our perceptions and provoke thought about human nature. Displayed within prestigious institutions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Goya's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential artists.
