EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish painter and printmaker, Francisco de Goya (1746-1828), titled "Donde va mama?" (Where are you going mum?) from his series "Los Caprichos." Created in 1799 as plate 43, this work is an intriguing example of Goya's satirical and ironic commentary on society. The image, an aquatint reproduced by M. Segui i Riera, depicts a drunken man, inebriated and stumbling, as he clumsily attempts to lead a seemingly disinterested and exasperated woman. The scene is filled with sarcasm and irony, as the man's question to his mother is met with indifference and perhaps even contempt. The title itself adds an additional layer of meaning, as the question could be interpreted as a plea for guidance or a desperate cry for help. Goya's use of aquatint, a technique that involves the application of ink to a plate with a roulette, allows for a rich, textured effect, enhancing the overall mood and atmosphere of the print. The artist's mastery of this medium is evident in the intricate details and nuanced shading, which bring the characters and their emotions to life. This print is a testament to Goya's ability to use art as a vehicle for social commentary, addressing issues of inebriation, lasciviousness, and the loss of reason in a satirical and sarcastic manner. The image continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into the complexities of human behavior and the power of art to provoke thought and reflection.
