EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Que sacrificio! (What a Sacrifice!)", Francisco Goya takes us on a journey through the depths of human emotion and sacrifice. Created between 1797-1798 as part of his renowned series "Los Caprichos" this artwork showcases Goya's mastery in depicting both the physical and psychological aspects of his subjects. The scene unfolds with an allegorical composition, where a young woman is seen kneeling before an altar, her face filled with anguish. Surrounding her are various mythological figures, symbolizing different aspects of sacrifice and devotion. The intricate details in the etching highlight Goya's technical brilliance, capturing every nuance from the folds in the woman's dress to the expressions on each character's face. Goya invites viewers to contemplate what sacrifices we make for our beliefs or desires. Is it love? Faith? Ambition? Through this powerful image, he challenges us to question our own choices and reflect on their consequences. Now housed in the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this print continues to captivate audiences worldwide. It serves as a testament to Goya's enduring legacy as one of Spain's most influential artists and reminds us that art has always been a medium for exploring complex themes such as mythology, literature, and human nature itself.
