Be quick, they are waking up
EDITORS COMMENTS
is the title of Plate 78 in the renowned series of etchings called "Los Caprichos" (The Caprices) by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828). This haunting image, created in 1828, is a poignant commentary on human nature and the consequences of ignorance and complacency. Goya, a Spanish painter and printmaker, is considered one of the most important figures in European art history. Los Caprichos was a groundbreaking body of work, consisting of 80 etchings that reflected his deep concern for societal issues and the human condition. This plate, in particular, depicts a group of figures huddled together, seemingly asleep, as a monstrous figure looms in the background. The ominous figure, with glowing red eyes and sharp teeth, represents the awakening of chaos and destruction. The title of the plate serves as a warning, urging the viewer to be vigilant and proactive in the face of danger. The figures in the image are oblivious to the impending threat, engrossed in their slumber. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the importance of being aware of our surroundings and the potential consequences of neglecting our responsibilities. The intricately detailed etching technique used by Goya in Los Caprichos showcases his mastery of the medium. The dark, moody tones and bold lines create a sense of unease and tension, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to contemplate the deeper meaning of the image. Overall, "Be quick, they are waking up" is a striking and thought-provoking work of art that continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a timeless commentary on the human condition and the importance of being vigilant and proactive in the face of danger.
