"Linda Maestra!" (translated as "Pretty Teacher!") is an etching by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his celebrated series "Los Caprichos." Published in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a collection of 80 prints that serve as a satirical critique of the societal and political issues of late 18th-century Spain. Goya, known for his keen observation and critical eye, used this series to explore themes such as superstition, ignorance, and the abuses of power.

"Linda Maestra!" is the 68th plate in the "Los Caprichos" series and depicts a grotesque scene where a monstrous figure, often interpreted as a witch or a demonic entity, is teaching a young woman. The title, which can be read ironically, suggests a critique of the corrupting influence of such figures on the innocent. The etching employs Goya's characteristic use of chiaroscuro, with stark contrasts between light and dark to enhance the dramatic and eerie atmosphere of the scene.

The work is notable for its complex symbolism and the ambiguity of its narrative, which invites various interpretations. Some art historians suggest that Goya was commenting on the perils of ignorance and the destructive power of false knowledge, while others see it as a broader critique of the moral decay within society. The grotesque nature of the figures and the dark, foreboding setting are typical of Goya's style during this period, reflecting his disillusionment with the Enlightenment ideals that had initially inspired him.

"Linda Maestra!" exemplifies Goya's innovative approach to printmaking and his ability to convey profound social commentary through his art. The etching remains a significant work within the "Los Caprichos" series and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
