"Caprichos" is a series of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, published in 1799. The series is renowned for its satirical and often darkly humorous critique of contemporary Spanish society, addressing themes such as superstition, ignorance, and the abuses of power. "Capricho No. 39," titled "Hasta su abuelo" ("And so was his grandfather"), is one of the most notable prints in this collection.

In "Hasta su abuelo," Goya employs his characteristic wit and sharp social commentary to critique the hereditary nature of nobility and the absurdity of social pretensions. The print depicts a donkey, dressed in human clothing, examining a family tree that traces its lineage back to illustrious ancestors, who are also depicted as donkeys. This visual metaphor underscores the artist's disdain for the notion that noble birth inherently confers virtue or intelligence. By portraying the noble lineage as a series of donkeys, Goya mocks the idea that aristocratic status is a guarantee of worthiness or capability.

The "Caprichos" series, including "Hasta su abuelo," reflects Goya's broader concerns with the Enlightenment ideals of reason and progress. Through his incisive and often grotesque imagery, Goya exposes the follies and vices of his time, challenging the viewer to question societal norms and the legitimacy of established hierarchies. The prints were initially met with mixed reactions; while some praised their boldness and ingenuity, others were unsettled by their biting satire and the unflattering portrayal of Spanish society.

Goya's "Caprichos" remain influential in the history of art, celebrated for their technical mastery and their unflinching exploration of human nature and social injustice. "Hasta su abuelo" exemplifies the artist's ability to convey complex ideas through powerful and provocative imagery, making it a significant work within the series and in Goya's oeuvre as a whole.
