EDITORS COMMENTS
**"The Whimsical Fart: A Capriccio by Francisco Goya**
In this print from 1799, Spanish master Francisco Goya presents a humorous and imaginative scene that showcases his unique blend of whimsy and wit. "Blow (Sopla)" is part of the renowned series "Los Caprichos" (The Whimsical), which features fantastical depictions of everyday life.
In this particular print, we find ourselves in a rustic setting where a young boy, lost in thought, accidentally lets out an impressive flatulence. The unexpected sound startles him and sends his cap flying off into the air. Meanwhile, a nearby brazier crackles with warmth as if to mirror the sudden burst of energy.
Goya's use of aquatint and drypoint techniques creates a striking contrast between light and dark, drawing our attention to the boy's startled expression while simultaneously highlighting the whimsical nature of his predicament. This print not only showcases Goya's technical skill but also demonstrates his ability to capture the essence of human experience - in all its absurdity.
As part of Francisco Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, this print is a testament to the artist's innovative spirit and willingness to push boundaries within art. It serves as a delightful reminder that even in the most mundane moments, there lies an opportunity for creative expression and playfulness.
