"Los Caprichos" is a series of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1797 and 1798, and published as an album in 1799. This collection is widely regarded as one of Goya's most significant works, showcasing his mastery in printmaking and his sharp social commentary. The series is notable for its satirical and often darkly humorous critique of contemporary Spanish society, addressing themes such as superstition, ignorance, and the corruption of both the church and the state.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" employs a variety of techniques, including etching, aquatint, drypoint, and burin, to achieve a range of tonal effects and intricate details. The prints are characterized by their dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, which enhance the eerie and fantastical elements of the imagery. Each print is accompanied by a brief, often enigmatic caption that adds layers of meaning and invites multiple interpretations.

The series was initially conceived as a form of social and political commentary, reflecting Goya's disillusionment with the Enlightenment ideals that had failed to bring about meaningful reform in Spain. The prints depict a wide array of grotesque and fantastical figures, including witches, goblins, and other supernatural beings, which serve as metaphors for the vices and follies of human nature. Through these allegorical representations, Goya critiques the irrationality and moral decay he perceived in Spanish society.

"Los Caprichos" was not well-received by the public at the time of its release, and Goya eventually withdrew the series from sale, fearing retribution from the powerful institutions he had criticized. Despite its initial reception, 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 innovative techniques and profound social commentary.
