"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 widely regarded as one of Goya's most significant works, showcasing his mastery in printmaking and his keen insight into the social, political, and cultural issues of his time. The prints are notable for their satirical and often darkly humorous depictions of human follies, superstitions, and the corruption of both the church and the state.

Goya began working on "Los Caprichos" during a period of personal and political turmoil. Spain was experiencing significant upheaval, with the Enlightenment ideas clashing against the deeply entrenched traditions and the Inquisition's influence. Goya himself had suffered a severe illness that left him deaf, which some scholars believe intensified his critical perspective on society. The prints reflect his disillusionment and his desire to provoke thought and reform through art.

Each print in "Los Caprichos" is accompanied by a brief, often enigmatic caption, adding layers of meaning and inviting various interpretations. The imagery ranges from grotesque and fantastical creatures to more straightforward depictions of everyday life, all rendered with Goya's characteristic skill and emotional intensity. Themes such as the hypocrisy of the clergy, the absurdity of certain social customs, and the irrationality of human behavior are recurrent throughout the series.

Upon its release, "Los Caprichos" was met with mixed reactions. While some praised Goya's ingenuity and boldness, others were unsettled by the biting satire and the unflattering portrayal of Spanish society. Fearing repercussions from the Inquisition, Goya withdrew the series from public sale shortly after its publication. Despite this, "Los Caprichos" has endured as a powerful testament to Goya's artistic vision and his commitment to social critique, continuing to captivate and challenge audiences to this day.
