"Los Caprichos" is a series of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, first published in 1799. This collection is renowned for its satirical and often darkly humorous critique of contemporary Spanish society, encompassing themes such as superstition, corruption, and the follies of human nature. Goya's work in "Los Caprichos" marks a significant departure from traditional artistic conventions of the time, showcasing his innovative use of the aquatint technique to achieve a wide range of tonal effects and textures.

The prints in "Los Caprichos" are notable for their complex and often ambiguous imagery, which invites multiple interpretations. Goya employs a variety of grotesque and fantastical elements to convey his critical perspective on the social, political, and religious issues of his era. The series is divided into several thematic groups, each addressing different aspects of human vice and folly. For instance, some plates focus on the absurdities of the aristocracy and the clergy, while others depict the irrationality of popular superstitions and the darker aspects of human behavior.

One of the most famous images from the series is Plate 43, titled "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters" ("El sueño de la razón produce monstruos"), which depicts a man asleep at his desk, surrounded by nightmarish creatures. This image has been widely interpreted as a commentary on the dangers of abandoning rational thought and succumbing to irrational fears and beliefs.

"Los Caprichos" was initially met with mixed reactions. While some contemporaries appreciated Goya's bold and innovative approach, others were unsettled by the series' provocative content. Despite this, "Los Caprichos" has since been recognized as a seminal work in the history of art, reflecting Goya's profound engagement with the social and intellectual currents of his time. Today, the series is celebrated for its technical mastery, its incisive social commentary, and its enduring relevance.
