What is the meaning of the Los Caprichos painting?
1 Answer
The meaning of the Los Caprichos painting varies from piece to piece, as the work is not actually a single painting but rather a series of 80 prints. Francisco Goya created the aquatint and etching series during the late 18th century. Generally, each print serves as a critique of Spanish society. Some specific themes Goya explored through the series include superstition, hypocrisy and ignorance. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Francisco Goya art.
