Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. 'Todos caeran'. Plate 19 from Los Caprichos etching series, 1970 edition. The wove paper is watermarked with the stamp from the Calcografia Nacional.
'Todos caeran' (Plate 19). This etching is one of the most cruel and ruthless compositions whose true meaning is very difficult and complicated to give. Authors such as Rodríguez Torres (1998: 506-511) interpret this work as an allegorical representation of politics. While others relate the scene of the picture with prostitution and / or with the satirical representation of the successive lovers of Queen María Luisa. The theme of bird hunting is sometimes used in emblem literature to illustrate a love satire.
Plate size: 14,8 x 22 cm.
Paper size: 26,3 x 38 cm.
Los caprichos (The Caprices) is a set of 80 prints in aquatint and etching created by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya in 1797-1798, and published as an album in 1799 (first edition). The prints were an artistic experiment: a medium for Goya's condemnation of the universal follies and foolishness in the Spanish society in which he lived.
Thirteen official editions are known: that of 1799, five in the 19th century, and seven in the 20th century. Being the last one in 1970 carried out by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.
