Description
A dark and unearthly etching and aquatint on paper titled "Donde va Mama" from Los Caprichos by Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Signed in the plate. Numbered 65 on the upper right corner and titled on the lower central margin. Etching is part of the Third Edition dated 1868 via tag on backing. The Caprices - "The lasciviousness and the inebriation in the women generate disorders of real witchcrafts." From a private collection. Dimensions: 13"h x 9.75"w (framed). In very good vintage condition. Francisco Goya's series Los Caprichos contains layers of meaning that even today challenge the modern viewer. In the first half, Goya explored themes of superstition, sensuality, greed, and violence with scenes set in Spanish brothels, salons, and prisons. The second half is given over to fantastic images from the artist's dreams and nightmares. Even though Goya tried to disguise his attacks on Spanish society, he withdrew the set from sale because he had been reported to the Inquisition, a tribunal that ruled with lethal authority.
