Painting Description
Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, one of Spain's most renowned and influential artists, created a series of works that delve into the complexities of human nature and societal issues. Among these works are "Bellos Consejos" (Beautiful Advice) and "Que Viene El Coco" (Here Comes the Bogeyman), both part of his famous series of etchings known as "Los Caprichos." Published in 1799, "Los Caprichos" consists of 80 prints that serve as a satirical commentary on the social, political, and religious issues of Goya's time.
"Bellos Consejos" and "Que Viene El Coco" are particularly notable for their incisive critique and haunting imagery. "Bellos Consejos" depicts a scene where a young woman receives advice from an older, seemingly wise figure. The title, which translates to "Beautiful Advice," is likely ironic, suggesting that the counsel given may be far from beneficial. This etching is a reflection on the misguided guidance often provided by those in positions of authority or experience, highlighting the potential for manipulation and deceit.
"Que Viene El Coco," on the other hand, portrays a more universally recognizable fear. The etching shows a mother and her children cowering in fear as a monstrous figure, the Coco, approaches. The Coco, or bogeyman, is a mythical creature used in Spanish folklore to frighten children into good behavior. Goya's depiction captures the irrational fears and superstitions that can dominate human behavior, as well as the ways in which authority figures exploit these fears to maintain control.
Both etchings exemplify Goya's masterful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey deep psychological and emotional states through his art. They also underscore his critical perspective on the societal norms and practices of his time. Through "Bellos Consejos" and "Que Viene El Coco," Goya not only entertains but also provokes thought and reflection on the darker aspects of human nature and society.
