"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. Goya's work in this series is notable for its innovative use of etching and aquatint techniques, which allowed him to achieve a wide range of tonal effects and intricate details.

"Up They Go" (original Spanish title: "Allá van") depicts a group of figures being tossed into the air by a blanket, a traditional form of public humiliation and punishment in Spain known as "manteo." The scene is both whimsical and unsettling, capturing the absurdity and cruelty of human behavior. The figures' exaggerated expressions and dynamic poses convey a sense of chaos and disorder, reflecting Goya's critical view of societal norms and practices.

The etching is rich in symbolic content, with the figures representing various social types and classes. Goya's use of satire is evident in the way he exaggerates their features and actions, highlighting the folly and vice that he perceived in contemporary society. The work can be interpreted as a commentary on the arbitrary nature of justice and the capriciousness of fate, themes that recur throughout "Los Caprichos."

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including "Up They Go," was initially met with mixed reactions. While some praised its technical mastery and bold social commentary, others were disturbed by its dark and often grotesque imagery. Despite this, the series has since been recognized as a groundbreaking work in the history of art, influencing subsequent generations of artists and continuing to be studied for its complex interplay of visual and thematic elements.

"Up They Go" exemplifies Goya's ability to blend humor and horror, creating a powerful visual critique of the human condition. Through his masterful use of etching and aquatint, Goya invites viewers to reflect on the absurdities and injustices of their own society, making "Los Caprichos" a timeless and relevant body of work.
