"They Are Hot" (Spanish: "Están calientes") is an etching by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828), part of his famous series "Los Caprichos." Created between 1797 and 1798, "Los Caprichos" is a satirical and critical reflection on the socio-political issues of Goya's time, including the follies and vices seen in Spanish society. The series consists of 80 prints, with "They Are Hot" being one of them, although its exact position within the series may vary depending on the edition.

The "Los Caprichos" series, including "They Are Hot," showcases Goya's innovative use of the aquatint technique, which allowed him to achieve remarkable tonal variations, from deep blacks to subtle grays, enhancing the dramatic effect of his compositions. Goya's mastery in etching and his keen observational skills are evident in the detailed and expressive figures that populate his scenes, often blending the real with the fantastical to underscore the moral and social critiques he aimed to convey.

"They Are Hot" specifically, like many of Goya's works in the series, can be interpreted in various ways, reflecting the artist's intention to provoke thought and discussion about the follies he depicted. The title itself may suggest a critique of lust, passion, or perhaps the feverish pursuit of folly that Goya saw as prevalent in his society. The exact meaning of this etching, as with many in the series, is open to interpretation, with Goya often employing ambiguity and irony to engage the viewer.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" was initially intended for public sale, but due to the potentially controversial nature of the works and fear of political retribution, Goya withdrew the series from sale shortly after its release. It was later gifted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. Today, "They Are Hot," along with the rest of the "Los Caprichos" series, is celebrated for its artistic innovation, its critical perspective on human nature and society, and its influence on the development of modern art, particularly in the realms of expressionism and surrealism.

The series, including "They Are Hot," is held in high regard not only for its technical brilliance but also for its bold commentary, making Francisco de Goya a pivotal figure in the transition from the Old Masters to modern art. "They Are Hot" remains a compelling study of the human condition, reflecting Goya's deep cynicism about the society of his time, and his etchings in "Los Caprichos" continue to resonate with audiences for their timeless critique of human folly.
