Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. 'When day breaks we will be off' ('Si amanece, nos vamos'). Plate 71 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”.
'Si amanece, nos vamos' (Plate 71). Under a starry night sky, four old witches with deformed and wrinkled faces listen attentively to a fifth who points to the right; it is possible that the old woman is announcing the imminent arrival of the day before which they must prepare to flee. She is sitting on a sack and has children hanging from her belt who will be the object of some rite. In the background we perceive a shadow that with its wings spread seems to be protecting the sorceress.
Plate size: 15x21.5 cm.
Paper size: 26x37.8 cm.
Condition: foxing that can be seen in the image. Please scan carefully.
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.
