EDITORS COMMENTS
193-0082155 Until death, plate 55 of Los caprichos, 1799 (etching) captures the essence of social criticism in a satirical and thought-provoking manner. Created by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, this black and white etching measures 22x15.4 cm and is part of a private collection. In this intriguing artwork, Goya presents a scene that reflects the harsh realities faced by women during his time. A female servant can be seen sniggering while holding up a looking glass to an elderly hag-like figure. The engraving portrays the power dynamics between different classes and highlights the struggles faced by those in servitude. Goya's mastery lies in his ability to convey complex emotions through simple yet impactful imagery. The use of contrasting light and shadow adds depth to the characters' expressions, emphasizing their inner turmoil. Through 'Until death, ' Goya challenges societal norms and exposes the hypocrisy prevalent in Spanish society at that time. He invites viewers to question their own biases and prejudices towards marginalized individuals. As one delves deeper into this work of art, it becomes evident that Goya was not merely an artist but also a keen observer of human nature. His works continue to resonate with audiences today as they serve as reminders of our collective responsibility towards creating a more just society.
