EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "She prays for her" plate 31 of Los caprichos by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, we are transported to a world of social criticism and satirical commentary. The artist, known for his bold and thought-provoking works, presents us with a scene that delves into the theme of false devotion. Measuring 21.9x15.2 cm, this intricate engraving showcases a woman deep in prayer, clutching her rosary beads tightly in her hands. However, upon closer inspection, we begin to unravel the layers of deception within the image. Goya skillfully portrays the go-between nature of some individuals who use religion as a means to manipulate others. The artist's keen eye captures not only the physical act of praying but also hints at the insincerity behind it all. Through his masterful technique and attention to detail, Goya invites us to question our own beliefs and reflect on how easily one can be swayed by appearances alone. As part of his larger body of work exploring societal issues in Spain during that time period (1799), this particular print serves as an important reminder that true devotion cannot be measured solely by outward displays or rituals. It challenges us to look beyond surface-level gestures and seek genuine connections with our spirituality. This remarkable piece from Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes is housed in a private collection and continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its powerful message and timeless relevance.
