EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating etching "193-0082177 What one does to another, plate 77 of Los caprichos, 1799" by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the artist's satirical genius. In this particular piece, measuring 21.8x15.2 cm and housed in a private collection, Goya skillfully employs his mastery of engraving to convey a powerful social criticism. The image depicts two old men engaged in an innocent children's game: a piggyback ride. However, beneath the surface lies a biting parody that exposes the abuse of power prevalent in society at large. Through this seemingly lighthearted scene, Goya unveils the darker truth about how individuals exploit and manipulate one another for personal gain. Goya's keen eye for detail is evident as he meticulously captures every nuance of expression on the faces of these elderly figures. Their wrinkled features reflect not only their age but also the weighty burden they carry upon each other's backs—a metaphorical representation of societal hierarchies and power dynamics. As one delves deeper into this artwork, it becomes clear that Goya intended to provoke contemplation and reflection on human nature itself. With his signature blend of wit and artistic prowess, he challenges viewers to question their own roles within systems that perpetuate inequality and injustice. This remarkable piece stands as a testament to Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes' enduring legacy as an influential Spanish
