Painting Description
Se Repulen is one of the etchings from the series "Los Caprichos" by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created between 1797 and 1798, "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, who was deeply influenced by the Enlightenment, used this series to expose the follies and vices of his contemporaries, often employing dark humor and grotesque imagery.
"Se Repulen," which translates to "They Spruce Themselves Up," is plate number 30 in the series. The etching depicts a group of women engaged in the act of grooming and adorning themselves, a scene that Goya uses to comment on vanity and superficiality. The women are shown in exaggerated poses, with elaborate hairstyles and ornate clothing, emphasizing the lengths to which they go to enhance their appearances. This focus on external beauty, Goya suggests, is a reflection of deeper societal flaws, such as moral decay and the neglect of intellectual and spiritual values.
The composition of "Se Repulen" is marked by Goya's masterful use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, which adds a dramatic intensity to the scene. The intricate details of the women's attire and the textures of their surroundings showcase Goya's technical prowess in etching. Additionally, the expressions and body language of the figures convey a sense of absurdity and critique, aligning with the overarching themes of "Los Caprichos."
Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including "Se Repulen," was initially met with mixed reactions. While some contemporaries appreciated the boldness and ingenuity of Goya's work, others were unsettled by its stark portrayal of societal issues. Today, "Los Caprichos" is celebrated for its innovative approach and profound impact on the art world, with "Se Repulen" standing out as a poignant example of Goya's ability to blend artistic skill with incisive social commentary.
