EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Goya's Caprices, Plaque 21, titled "How they pluck her!" is a thought-provoking and satirical engraving from the late 18th century, now housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. This print is a testament to Goya's unique artistic vision and his ability to critique society through his fantasies. Created during the tumultuous years of 1797 and 1798, this print reflects the artist's disillusionment with the political and social climate of the time. The image depicts a grotesque figure, with the caption "How they pluck her!" written above. The figure is shown being attacked and plucked by various birds, representing the criticism and critique that Goya himself faced during his career. The Caprices series, also known as the "Disasters of War" series, was a departure from the traditional artistic norms of the time. These engravings were considered controversial and even scandalous due to their dark and satirical themes. Goya's use of imagery and language challenged the established order and paved the way for the Romantic movement in Europe. The Prado Museum in Madrid is home to the largest collection of Goya's works, including this important print. The Caprices series is considered a seminal work in the history of European art, and Plaque 21, in particular, is a powerful reminder of Goya's ability to use his art as a vehicle for social commentary and critique. Goya's Caprices, Plaque 21, continues to captivate and intrigue viewers today, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential artists in history. This engraving is a testament to the power of art to challenge the status quo and provoke thought and discussion.
