EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "193-0082154 The shamefaced one, plate 54 of Los caprichos, 1799" captures a powerful social criticism by the renowned artist Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes. In this satirical etching, Goya unveils a scene filled with symbolic elements and biting commentary. At the center of the composition stands a figure known as "el vergonzoso" or "the shamefaced one". Dressed in breeches and sporting a phallic nose, he embodies both physical and moral absurdity. Through his exaggerated features, Goya mocks societal norms and exposes hypocrisy. Surrounded by others engaged in dining, the shamefaced individual becomes an object of ridicule. The mealtime setting highlights themes of indulgence and excess while subtly alluding to sodomy through visual innuendos. Goya's mastery as an engraver is evident in every intricate detail that adds depth to his critique. This artwork serves as a testament to Goya's fearless approach towards addressing controversial subjects during his time. It showcases his ability to provoke thought and challenge conventional thinking through art. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, we are reminded of the power that art holds in reflecting society's flaws. It encourages us to question societal norms and engage in critical discourse about issues that may still persist today.
