EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Might not the pupil know more?" captures a powerful message conveyed by renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya in 1799. This artwork is Plate 7 of Los Caprichos, a series published during a time of social repression and economic crisis in Spain. Goya's political liberalism and revulsion towards ignorance and intellectual oppression are evident in this satirical black and white etching. The image portrays a scene where an animal, symbolizing ignorance or backwardness, is being pointed at by a child sitting next to their mother. The concept of learning and education takes center stage as the child seems to question why the donkey cannot possess knowledge. This thought-provoking artwork challenges societal norms prevalent during the 18th century. Goya uses caricature to highlight the absurdity of denying individuals access to education based on their social status or background. It serves as a critique against those who perpetuate intellectual oppression for personal gain. Through his masterful artistry, Goya prompts us to reflect on our own biases and prejudices that hinder progress and enlightenment. This print reminds us that knowledge knows no boundaries; it can be found even in unexpected places like within pupils who are often underestimated. "Might not the pupil know more?" continues to resonate today as we strive for equal opportunities in education for all individuals regardless of their circumstances.
