"Los Caprichos" is a series of 80 prints in aquatint and etching created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, known more commonly as Francisco Goya. This series, produced between 1797 and 1798, is a satirical critique of 18th-century Spanish society, touching on themes such as the folly of human behavior, superstition, and the corruption of the church and the nobility. While "Los Caprichos 3" specifically refers to the third print in the series, it's important to understand the context and intention behind the entire collection to fully appreciate the significance of any single piece within it.

The third print of "Los Caprichos" is titled "Que viene el Coco" (Here comes the bogeyman). In this etching, Goya depicts the bogeyman, a figure from Spanish folklore used by adults to scare children into obedience. The image serves as a metaphor for the irrational fears instilled by society to control and manipulate the populace. Goya's use of dark, exaggerated imagery in this print, as in others within the series, showcases his mastery of the aquatint technique and his ability to convey complex social critiques through compelling visual narratives.

"Los Caprichos" as a whole represents a pivotal shift in Goya's artistic career, moving from the Rococo style of his early works to a more personal, experimental, and politically charged approach. The series was initially offered for sale to the public but was quickly withdrawn by Goya due to fear of political retribution. It was later gifted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. Today, "Los Caprichos" is recognized as a seminal work in the history of Western art, illustrating the power of visual art as a medium for social and political commentary. The series has been extensively studied and admired for its artistic innovation, its bold critique of societal ills, and its influence on the development of modern satirical illustration.
