"They Carried Her Off" (Spanish: "La llevaron al huerto") is Plate 8 of the renowned series of etchings titled "Los Caprichos" by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a collection of 80 prints that serve as a satirical critique of the societal and political issues of late 18th-century Spain. Goya, a master painter and printmaker, utilized the medium of etching and aquatint to explore themes of human folly, superstition, and corruption.

In "They Carried Her Off," Goya presents a haunting and ambiguous scene that has been the subject of various interpretations. The image depicts a young woman being abducted by a group of men, their faces obscured by shadows, adding to the sense of menace and mystery. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique Goya employed to heighten the emotional intensity of his works. The woman's limp posture and the men's forceful grip suggest a narrative of violence and helplessness, evoking a powerful emotional response from the viewer.

The title "La llevaron al huerto" can be translated literally as "They took her to the garden," but it also carries a colloquial implication of seduction or abduction, hinting at the darker undertones of the scene. This duality in meaning is characteristic of Goya's work, which often blends literal and metaphorical elements to critique societal norms and behaviors.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series was groundbreaking for its time, pushing the boundaries of traditional art to address contemporary issues with a bold and unflinching eye. "They Carried Her Off" exemplifies Goya's ability to convey complex social commentary through powerful imagery, making it a significant piece within the series and a testament to his enduring legacy as an artist who dared to confront the darker aspects of human nature.
