"Caprichos - Plate 66: Up They Go" is one of the 80 etchings that comprise "Los Caprichos," a series created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1797 and 1798. Published in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a critical and satirical exploration of the social, political, and religious issues of late 18th-century Spain. The series is celebrated for its innovative use of etching and aquatint techniques, as well as for its bold and often disturbing imagery.

Plate 66, titled "Up They Go" ("Allá va eso" in Spanish), depicts a group of figures engaged in a chaotic and seemingly nonsensical activity. The scene is characterized by its dynamic composition and the exaggerated expressions of the characters, which are typical of Goya's style in "Los Caprichos." The exact meaning of this particular plate is open to interpretation, as is the case with many of the works in the series. However, it is generally understood to be a commentary on the follies and absurdities of human behavior.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series was groundbreaking in its departure from traditional artistic themes and its embrace of a more personal and critical perspective. The works are imbued with a sense of dark humor and irony, reflecting Goya's disillusionment with the society of his time. "Up They Go" exemplifies this approach, using fantastical and grotesque imagery to provoke thought and challenge the viewer's perceptions.

The series was initially met with mixed reactions, as its biting social commentary was both praised and criticized. Over time, however, "Los Caprichos" has come to be regarded as one of Goya's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the history of art. "Up They Go," like the other plates in the series, continues to captivate and intrigue audiences with its enigmatic and provocative content.
