"Los Caprichos" is a series of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, first published in 1799. This collection is renowned for its satirical and often darkly humorous critique of contemporary Spanish society, addressing themes such as superstition, ignorance, and the corruption of both the church and the aristocracy. Goya's work in "Los Caprichos" is characterized by its innovative use of aquatint, a technique that allowed for a wide range of tonal variations, enhancing the dramatic and expressive quality of the prints.

The series was conceived during a period of significant personal and political turmoil for Goya, who was grappling with the effects of a severe illness that left him deaf. This personal crisis, combined with the broader context of the Enlightenment and the social upheavals of late 18th-century Spain, profoundly influenced the content and tone of "Los Caprichos." The prints are notable for their blend of realism and fantasy, often featuring grotesque and fantastical imagery to underscore their critical messages.

Each print in "Los Caprichos" is accompanied by a brief caption, which adds another layer of meaning and invites viewers to reflect on the moral and social issues depicted. Some of the most famous images from the series include "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters," which depicts a man asleep at a desk surrounded by nightmarish creatures, symbolizing the chaos that ensues when reason is abandoned, and "Until Death," which portrays an old woman admiring herself in a mirror, a commentary on vanity and the inevitability of aging.

"Los Caprichos" was initially met with mixed reactions; while some contemporaries appreciated Goya's bold social commentary, others were unsettled by the series' stark and often unsettling imagery. Despite this, the collection has since been recognized as a masterpiece of graphic art and a seminal work in the history of Western art. Goya's incisive observations and innovative techniques in "Los Caprichos" continue to resonate, offering a powerful critique of human folly and a testament to the enduring power of art as a tool for social commentary.
