"From Los Caprichos" is a series of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, first published in 1799. This collection is widely regarded as one of Goya's most significant works, showcasing his mastery in the medium of printmaking and his incisive commentary on the social, political, and cultural issues of his time. The term "caprichos" translates to "caprices" or "whims," reflecting the satirical and often fantastical nature of the images.

Goya conceived "Los Caprichos" during a period of profound personal and societal turmoil. Spain was grappling with the Enlightenment's clash with entrenched superstitions and the oppressive structures of the Inquisition. Goya himself was recovering from a severe illness that left him deaf, which may have influenced the dark and introspective tone of the series. The prints are notable for their innovative use of aquatint, a technique that allowed Goya to achieve a wide range of tonal effects, enhancing the dramatic and often eerie quality of the images.

Each print in "Los Caprichos" is accompanied by a brief, enigmatic caption, adding layers of meaning and inviting various interpretations. The subjects range from biting critiques of the clergy and aristocracy to depictions of human folly and vice. Some of the most famous images include "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters," which portrays a man slumped over a desk, besieged by nightmarish creatures, symbolizing the chaos unleashed when reason is abandoned.

"Los Caprichos" was initially met with a mixed reception. While some contemporaries praised Goya's boldness and technical skill, others were unsettled by the series' provocative content. Fearing retribution from the Inquisition, Goya withdrew the prints from public sale shortly after their release. Despite this, "Los Caprichos" has endured as a seminal work in the history of art, influencing countless artists and continuing to be studied for its rich interplay of visual and thematic elements.
