"Los Caprichos" is a series of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1797 and 1798. This collection is widely regarded as one of Goya's most significant works, showcasing his mastery in printmaking and his sharp critique of contemporary society. The prints were published as an album in 1799, and they reflect Goya's deep disillusionment with the social, political, and religious structures of his time.

The series is notable for its innovative use of aquatint, a technique that allowed Goya to achieve a wide range of tonal effects, enhancing the dramatic and often nightmarish quality of the images. Each print in "Los Caprichos" is accompanied by a brief, enigmatic caption, which adds layers of meaning and invites various interpretations. The themes explored in the series include the follies of human behavior, the corruption of the clergy, the incompetence of the aristocracy, and the superstitions that plagued Spanish society.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" is also significant for its autobiographical elements. The artist himself appears in several prints, often in a critical or self-reflective manner. This personal dimension adds depth to the series, as Goya grapples with his own role as an artist and social commentator. The most famous image from the series, "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters," depicts a figure, often interpreted as Goya himself, asleep at a desk while nightmarish creatures surround him. This print encapsulates the central theme of the series: the idea that reason and enlightenment are necessary to combat the irrationality and darkness inherent in human nature.

"Los Caprichos" was initially met with mixed reactions. While some contemporaries appreciated Goya's technical skill and bold vision, others were disturbed by the series' dark and critical tone. Despite this, "Los Caprichos" has endured as a powerful and influential work, continuing to captivate and challenge viewers with its incisive commentary and haunting imagery.
