"They Are Flying" (Spanish: "Volaverunt") is Plate 61 of "Los Caprichos," a series of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Completed in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is renowned for its satirical and often darkly humorous commentary on the social, political, and religious issues of late 18th-century Spain. Goya's work in this series is characterized by its innovative use of aquatint and etching techniques, which allowed him to achieve a wide range of tonal effects and intricate details.

"They Are Flying" depicts a surreal and somewhat grotesque scene in which three figures appear to be flying through the air. The central figure, a woman, is lifted by two men who seem to be struggling to keep her aloft. The expressions on their faces are ambiguous, leaving the interpretation of the scene open to the viewer. This ambiguity is a hallmark of Goya's work in "Los Caprichos," where he often left the meaning of his images deliberately obscure, inviting multiple interpretations.

The title "They Are Flying" can be seen as a metaphor for the irrationality and absurdity that Goya perceived in the society of his time. The print has been interpreted in various ways, including as a critique of the aristocracy, a commentary on the folly of human endeavors, or a reflection on the supernatural and superstitious beliefs that were prevalent in Spain during the period.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series was initially published as a set of 80 prints, but it was quickly withdrawn from public sale due to its controversial content. Despite this, the series has had a lasting impact on the art world and is considered one of Goya's masterpieces. "They Are Flying" exemplifies the artist's skill in combining technical mastery with profound social commentary, making it a significant work within the context of both Goya's oeuvre and the broader history of art.
