Francisco Goya’s Caprichos
The Museum of Art recently added to its collections a complete first edition (80 etchings) of Francisco Goya y Lucientes's (1746–1828) famous set of prints "Los Caprichos," which offers cutting social commentary on religion, prostitution and the professional class. Although a number of the nightmarish and idiosyncratic images from the Caprichos may be familiar to visitors, it is rare to experience a complete set and even more exceptional to view a first edition in pristine condition, recently gifted to the Museum by the late Kurt Delbanco in honor of Nicholas Delbanco. This exhibition presents some of Goya's most iconic and disturbing, yet beautiful, imagery.
