Painting Description
"Caprichos Plate 70: Devout Profession" is a notable work by the acclaimed Spanish Romantic painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. This piece is part of Goya's "Los Caprichos," an album of 80 etchings that serve as a satirical critique of 18th-century Spanish society. Published in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is considered one of Goya's most influential series, with "Devout Profession" being the 70th plate in the collection.
"Devout Profession" showcases Goya's mastery of the aquatint technique, a variant of etching that allowed him to create a wide range of tonal values, thereby adding depth and dimension to his work. The piece depicts a woman, presumably a nun, surrounded by grotesque figures, a common motif in Goya's "Caprichos." The image is a commentary on the forced religious vocations prevalent in Goya's time, particularly among women.
The title "Devout Profession" is thought to be ironic, as the woman's distressed expression and the menacing figures around her suggest a critique of the oppressive societal norms rather than a celebration of religious devotion. This work, like many others in the "Caprichos" series, reflects Goya's disillusionment with the social, political, and religious corruption he observed in his society.
As with all of Goya's works, "Devout Profession" is a testament to his innovative approach to art, his keen social commentary, and his profound influence on the Romantic and Expressionist movements. This piece, along with the rest of the "Caprichos" series, continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its bold critique of societal norms.
