EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Blasts of Wind" plate 48 of Los Caprichos, a renowned series of etchings created by the legendary Spanish artist Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes in 1799. Measuring at 20.8x15.3 cm, this artwork is housed in a private collection and is an exquisite example of Goya's social criticism. In this satirical engraving, Goya employs his masterful technique to depict a scene filled with intriguing elements. A bat-like creature hovers above a friar figure who appears to be confessing his sins or secrets to it. The monstrous character symbolizes the concept of soplones, meaning informers or snitches, highlighting the theme of betrayal within society. Goya's artistry shines through as he creates a fantastical animal that captivates viewers with its monstrous yet fascinating appearance. This wonderful character adds depth and intrigue to the composition while also serving as a metaphor for the darker aspects of human nature. As one explores this piece further, it becomes evident that Goya was not only an exceptional painter but also an astute observer and critic of society during his time. His works often delved into themes such as corruption, hypocrisy, and societal norms. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Goya's genius and offers us a glimpse into his fictional characters' world—a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by one of Spain's most celebrated artists.
