"Quien Se Pondrá El Cascabel Al Gato?" is a notable work by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his series of satirical prints known as "Los Caprichos." Completed in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a collection of 80 aquatint and etching prints that critique the social, political, and religious injustices of late 18th-century Spain. Goya, who is often regarded as one of the most important artists of his time, used this series to express his disillusionment with the corruption and decadence he observed in Spanish society.

The title "Quien Se Pondrá El Cascabel Al Gato?" translates to "Who Will Bell the Cat?" and is derived from a popular fable in which mice discuss a plan to place a bell around the neck of a cat to be warned of its approach. However, none of the mice are willing to undertake the dangerous task. This print, like many others in "Los Caprichos," employs allegory and metaphor to convey its message. It is widely interpreted as a commentary on the cowardice and inaction of those in power, who recognize the need for reform but are unwilling to take the necessary steps to achieve it.

The imagery in the print is both striking and evocative. Goya's mastery of the aquatint technique allows for a range of tonal variations, creating a dramatic and haunting visual effect. The composition typically features anthropomorphic figures, often animals, engaged in human-like activities, which serve to underscore the absurdity and folly of human behavior.

"Quien Se Pondrá El Cascabel Al Gato?" is emblematic of Goya's broader artistic and philosophical concerns. It reflects his critical stance towards the Enlightenment ideals that were gaining prominence during his lifetime, as well as his deep skepticism about the ability of society to achieve true progress. Through this work, Goya not only critiques the specific conditions of his time but also offers a timeless reflection on the challenges of enacting meaningful change in the face of entrenched power and complacency.
