"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. These prints are renowned for their satirical and critical portrayal of contemporary Spanish society, addressing a wide range of social, political, and cultural issues. Goya's work in "Los Caprichos" is characterized by its innovative use of aquatint, a technique that allowed for subtle gradations of tone and a high level of detail, which he combined with etching to achieve a distinctive visual style.

The series is notable for its dark, often grotesque imagery and its exploration of human folly, superstition, and corruption. Goya's incisive commentary targets various aspects of society, including the incompetence of the ruling class, the hypocrisy of the clergy, and the ignorance perpetuated by outdated traditions and beliefs. The prints are imbued with a sense of irony and ambiguity, often leaving their precise meaning open to interpretation, which has contributed to their enduring fascination and scholarly interest.

"Los Caprichos" was initially met with mixed reactions. While some contemporaries appreciated Goya's technical mastery and bold vision, others were unsettled by the biting social critique and the unsettling nature of the images. The series was eventually withdrawn from public sale, likely due to pressure from the Inquisition and other authorities who found its content subversive.

Over time, "Los Caprichos" has come to be regarded as one of Goya's masterpieces and a seminal work in the history of Western art. It reflects the artist's deep disillusionment with the society of his time and his commitment to exposing its flaws through his art. Today, the prints are celebrated for their artistic innovation, their profound social commentary, and their influence on subsequent generations of artists and thinkers.
