"Caprichos - Plate 71: Dawn Comes, We Go" is a notable work by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his influential series "Los Caprichos." This series, consisting of 80 aquatint prints, was published in 1799 and is celebrated for its incisive critique of contemporary Spanish society. Goya, through "Los Caprichos," sought to expose the follies and vices of his time, employing a blend of satire, fantasy, and realism.

Plate 71, titled "Dawn Comes, We Go" (original Spanish title: "Ya es hora"), is emblematic of Goya's ability to convey complex social commentary through his art. The scene depicted in this plate is shrouded in ambiguity and open to various interpretations, a characteristic feature of many works in the "Los Caprichos" series. The imagery typically involves figures in a nocturnal setting, suggesting themes of revelry, exhaustion, or the inevitable passage of time. The title itself implies a transition from night to day, hinting at the end of a period of indulgence or folly and the arrival of a new beginning.

Goya's use of aquatint in this series allowed him to achieve a wide range of tonal effects, contributing to the haunting and evocative quality of the prints. The technique involves applying a powdered resin to the plate, which is then heated to create a textured surface that holds ink, producing rich, velvety blacks and subtle gradations of gray. This method was particularly effective in conveying the moody, often dreamlike atmosphere of "Los Caprichos."

The "Los Caprichos" series, including Plate 71, reflects Goya's disillusionment with the social, political, and religious institutions of his time. His work critiques the corruption, superstition, and moral decay he perceived in late 18th-century Spain. "Dawn Comes, We Go" serves as a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of human behavior and the perpetual struggle between enlightenment and ignorance.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" remains a seminal work in the history of art, admired for its technical mastery and profound social commentary. Plate 71, "Dawn Comes, We Go," continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic imagery and enduring relevance.
