"Pesa Mas Que Un Burro Muerto" is a notable etching by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his renowned series "Los Caprichos," which was published in 1799. "Los Caprichos" is a collection of 80 prints that serve as a satirical critique of the societal and political issues of late 18th-century Spain. Goya's work in this series is characterized by its dark humor, biting social commentary, and innovative use of etching and aquatint techniques.

The title "Pesa Mas Que Un Burro Muerto" translates to "He Weighs More Than a Dead Donkey," and the etching vividly captures Goya's critical perspective on human folly and vice. In this particular print, Goya employs allegory and symbolism to convey his message. The image depicts a man struggling under the weight of a dead donkey, a metaphor for the burdens and absurdities that people willingly or unwittingly carry in their lives. The exaggerated physical strain and the absurdity of the situation reflect Goya's disdain for the irrationality and ignorance he observed in society.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including "Pesa Mas Que Un Burro Muerto," was groundbreaking for its time, both artistically and thematically. The series was initially met with mixed reactions; while some praised its ingenuity and boldness, others were unsettled by its unflinching critique of contemporary mores and institutions. Despite this, "Los Caprichos" has since been recognized as a seminal work in the history of art, showcasing Goya's mastery of printmaking and his profound engagement with the human condition.

The etching, like many in the series, reflects Goya's deep skepticism of the Enlightenment's promise of reason and progress, highlighting instead the persistence of superstition, corruption, and folly. "Pesa Mas Que Un Burro Muerto" remains a powerful example of Goya's ability to blend technical skill with incisive social commentary, making it a significant piece in the study of both his oeuvre and the broader context of European art history.
