Painting Description
"Caprichos Plate 2: They Say Yes And Give Their Hand To The First Comer" is the second etching in the series of 80 prints known as "Los Caprichos" by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828). Created between 1797 and 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a satirical and critical reflection on the follies and vices of Goya's contemporary Spanish society, including the aristocracy, the clergy, and common folk. The series is noted for its imaginative elements, its innovative use of aquatint, and its influential role in the history of Western art.
The second plate, "They Say Yes And Give Their Hand To The First Comer" (Spanish: "Si quebró el cántaro"), depicts a scene of arranged marriage or mercenary courtship, critiquing the practice of marriage without love, where social and economic interests take precedence over personal affection and compatibility. The image typically features one or more young women being offered in marriage, often by an older woman who may represent a procuress or a chaperone, to grotesque or unattractive suitors, symbolizing the corruption and decay of moral values.
Goya's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his ability to capture human expressions and character, imbues the work with a sense of drama and poignancy. The Caprichos, including this second plate, were originally intended for a wide audience, but due to their controversial nature and the political climate of the time, they were withdrawn from sale shortly after their release. Today, "They Say Yes And Give Their Hand To The First Comer" is recognized as a significant work within the series, offering insight into Goya's critical perspective on the social customs of his era. The Caprichos remain influential as a precursor to modern expressions of social and political commentary in art.
