EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases plate 49 of Los caprichos, a renowned series of etchings created by the legendary Spanish artist Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes in 1799. Measuring at 21.7x15.2 cm, this artwork is a powerful example of Goya's social criticism and satirical genius. In this particular plate titled "Hobgoblins". Goya skillfully depicts grotesque goblin-like creatures known as duendecitos, symbolizing the vices and flaws within society. The artist's engraving technique brings these eerie figures to life, highlighting their mischievous expressions and emphasizing their role as embodiments of avarice. The image also holds religious connotations, with one hobgoblin disguised as a priest or clergyman from various religious orders. This clever inclusion adds another layer to Goya's critique on the hypocrisy and corruption prevalent within religious institutions during his time. Goya's mastery in capturing both the physical grotesqueness and underlying moral decay makes this artwork an exceptional piece in his oeuvre. It serves as a testament to his ability to use art as a tool for social commentary. This print provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate the intricate details and thought-provoking themes present in Goya's work. It invites contemplation on societal issues that remain relevant even centuries after its creation. Displayed here is just one remarkable example from Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes' extensive body of work—an enduring testament to
