More info on Los Caprichos

Goya put the ugliness of society (corruption, superstition, greed, folly, and nightmares) in stark contrast with the new reality and took stock of the follies that undermined the establishment of reason in the Age of Enlightenment in his 80 etchings known as Los Caprichos (The Caprices). .

Why did Goya make Los Caprichos

The prints were an artistic experiment: a medium for Goya's condemnation of the universal follies and foolishness in the Spanish society in which he lived.

The Caprices or Los Caprichos is controversial because it

depicted a wide variety of subjects including the clergy, prostitutes and witches.

The two techniques used in making Los Caprichos is

etching and aquatint.

Etching

Aquatint
