Los Caprichos

Series of 80 printed prints. 33 x 21 cm - Edition 1863

Los Caprichos is a series of 80 engravings by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, which represents a satire of Spanish society at the end of the 18th century, especially the nobility and the clergy.

He used a mixed technique of etching, aquatint and drypoint retouching.

He exaggeratedly deformed the physiognomies and bodies of those who represented human vices and clumsiness, giving bestial aspects.
