"They Pare" (Spanish: "Se repulen") is Plate 51 of the series "Los Caprichos" by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a collection of 80 aquatint prints that serve as a satirical critique of the societal, political, and religious issues of late 18th-century Spain. Goya, who was deeply influenced by the Enlightenment, used this series to expose the follies and vices of his contemporaries, employing a blend of dark humor, irony, and grotesque imagery.

In "They Pare," Goya presents a scene that is both enigmatic and evocative, characteristic of the ambiguous and often surreal nature of the "Los Caprichos" series. The image depicts two figures engaged in an activity that appears to be the grooming or trimming of another figure. The exact interpretation of the scene is open to speculation, as Goya often left his works deliberately ambiguous to provoke thought and discussion. The title "They Pare" suggests a process of refinement or correction, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for societal or personal improvement, albeit through a somewhat invasive or uncomfortable process.

The technique used in "They Pare" is aquatint, a printmaking method that allows for the creation of tonal effects, giving the image a rich, textured quality. Goya's mastery of this technique is evident in the intricate details and the dramatic contrasts of light and shadow that enhance the emotional impact of the scene.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including Plate 51, was initially met with mixed reactions. While some contemporaries appreciated the bold social commentary, others were disturbed by the unflinching portrayal of human folly and corruption. Today, "They Pare" and the rest of the series are celebrated for their innovative artistic techniques and their profound insight into the human condition, securing Goya's legacy as one of the most important figures in Western art history.
