Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. 'What one does to another ' ('Unos a otros'). Plate 77 from Los Caprichos. 5th edition (1881-1886)
This fifth edition of Los Caprichos was printed between 1881 and 1886 in the Calcografía de la Real Academia, stamped in etching and aquatint and with drypoint, in soft sepia ink. The plates were beveled and the binding was done at the top of the prints. The edition consists of 210 copies. Very clean and correct tinted stamping; aquatint allows shadows to be nuanced by creating grayscale gradation and dramatic, haunting lighting. The strong paper used does not have a water mark as usual as Harris catalogs it. The original folder in which the complete collection was presented was made of cream cardboard with the portrait of Goya stamped on the cover and the Title: “Fran.co Goya y Lucientes Pintor”.
Plate size: 15x21.5 cm.
Paper size: 26x36.5 cm.
Condition: It has rust stains that can be seen in the image. Some of them affect the image.
'Unos a otros' (Plate 77 from Los Caprichos). This print corresponds to the thematic group "fortune and death". Goya addresses this issue through the representation of the game of the heifer, which has been interpreted as the fictitious fight of public men. The scene is made up of a group of men, one of them playing the bull, while the knight of the second term is remaking himself and the one of the first is in a position of "ostentation and expense", stinging his predecessor. The result is that, for the purposes of greed and pride, the aristocrats fight each other, damaging the people who remain foolish and ignorant and acting as chivalry, that is, carrying all the weight.
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.
