"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. The series is renowned for its satirical and often darkly humorous critique of contemporary Spanish society, targeting a wide range of subjects including the corruption of the church, the decadence of the aristocracy, and the follies of human nature. Goya's work in "Los Caprichos" is characterized by its innovative use of the aquatint technique, which allowed for a greater range of tonal variation and a more nuanced depiction of light and shadow compared to traditional etching methods.

The prints in "Los Caprichos" are notable for their surreal and often grotesque imagery, which Goya used to convey his disillusionment with the social and political conditions of his time. Each print is accompanied by a brief, often cryptic caption, which adds another layer of meaning and invites the viewer to engage in deeper interpretation. The series reflects Goya's transition from the Rococo style of his earlier works to a more personal and expressive approach, foreshadowing the Romantic movement.

"Los Caprichos" was initially met with mixed reactions. While some contemporaries appreciated the technical mastery and bold social commentary, others were disturbed by the unflinching portrayal of human vice and folly. The Inquisition's disapproval led Goya to withdraw the series from public sale shortly after its release, and it was not widely disseminated until after his death.

Today, "Los Caprichos" is considered one of Goya's masterpieces and a seminal work in the history of Western art. It has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis and continues to be celebrated for its artistic innovation and profound social critique. The series remains a powerful testament to Goya's skill as an artist and his courage as a social commentator.
