EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "193-0082140 Of what ill will he die? plate 40 of Los caprichos, 1799" by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes takes us on a journey through the pulse of social criticism. The image portrays a satirical scene featuring a death bed with an intriguing twist. A doctor, or perhaps more accurately described as a quack, stands beside the dying patient who happens to be an ass. Goya's masterful etching captures the essence of satire and invites viewers to ponder upon its deeper meaning. With meticulous attention to detail, the artist skillfully depicts this absurd scenario that serves as a scathing commentary on human folly and ignorance. The engraving raises questions about mortality, highlighting both our fear of death and our vulnerability in trusting those who claim to possess knowledge beyond their capabilities. Through his artistry, Goya challenges societal norms and exposes charlatans who exploit others for personal gain. As we delve into this thought-provoking artwork, it is impossible not to appreciate Goya's artistic prowess. His ability to convey complex emotions using only shades of black and white showcases his mastery over light and shadow. "193-0082140 Of what ill will he die?" is undoubtedly one of Goya's most iconic works from his series "Los caprichos". It continues to captivate audiences even centuries later with its timeless message about human nature and the dangers lurking behind blind trust.
