"Caprichos Plate 1: Francisco Goya y Lucientes, pintor" is the first etching in the series of 80 prints known as "Los Caprichos" by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created between 1797 and 1798, "Los Caprichos" are a satirical exploration of the social, political, and religious customs of the time. Plate 1 serves as a self-portrait of the artist and an introduction to the series, depicting Goya at work in his studio, surrounded by owls and bats, which are often interpreted as symbols of folly and ignorance.

The series as a whole is renowned for its enigmatic and often darkly humorous take on human nature and its follies. Goya used the aquatint technique to achieve rich tonal effects, which was innovative at the time and contributed to the haunting quality of the images. "Los Caprichos" were initially offered for sale to the public, but due to the sensitive nature of the content and potential political repercussions, Goya withdrew the prints from sale shortly after their release.

Plate 1 not only introduces Goya as the creator of the series but also sets the tone for the critical examination of society that characterizes the entire set of prints. The work is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and its insightful commentary on the human condition, reflecting Goya's disillusionment with the society of his time. The "Caprichos" series, including Plate 1, remains one of Goya's most influential works, offering a timeless perspective on the universal themes of corruption, superstition, and the struggle for reason and enlightenment.
