"Linda Maestra!" is a captivating painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created around 1797-1798. This work is part of Goya's series of prints known as "Los Caprichos," which consists of 80 aquatint and etching prints that critique the social, political, and religious institutions of his time. "Linda Maestra!" translates to "Pretty Teacher!" and is cataloged as Plate 68 in the series.

The painting depicts a grotesque scene where a young woman is being taught by an old witch, symbolizing the transmission of foolishness and superstition from one generation to the next. The title is ironic, as the "teacher" in the image is anything but pretty or wise. Goya uses this imagery to criticize the perpetuation of ignorance and the detrimental effects of blind adherence to outdated beliefs and practices.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including "Linda Maestra!," is notable for its innovative use of the aquatint technique, which allowed for a range of tonal effects and added depth to the prints. The series was initially published in 1799, but Goya withdrew it from public sale shortly after due to fear of persecution by the Inquisition, as the works were seen as controversial and critical of the societal norms of the time.

"Linda Maestra!" exemplifies Goya's skill in combining artistic mastery with sharp social commentary. The work reflects his disillusionment with the Enlightenment's failure to eradicate ignorance and superstition. Through his art, Goya sought to provoke thought and encourage societal reflection, making "Linda Maestra!" a significant piece in the study of both his oeuvre and the broader context of late 18th-century Spanish art and culture.
