More about this artwork

Francisco de Goya's captivating etching, "No te escaparás," from the series "Los Caprichos," is a profound example of the artist's critical reflection on the society of his time. This artwork, dated between 1796 and 1797, showcases Goya's skill in blending the real with the surreal, creating scenes that delve deep into human nature and its myriad manifestations.The etching depicts a haunting scene where a woman, dressed in a flowing gown, is ensnared by two grotesque creatures with the bodies of men and the heads and wings of birds. Her expression, one of alarm and dismay, contrasts sharply with the menacing grins of the creatures that hold her. The title, "You Will Not Escape," underscores a sense of inevitable doom and desperation.Goya uses this imagery to perhaps comment on the inescapable social and moral constraints imposed on individuals, particularly women, during his time. The fantastical elements may symbolize the oppressive forces of superstition and ignorance that Goya saw as prevalent in Spanish society.This powerful piece invites viewers to reflect on their own societal constraints and consider the universal struggle for freedom and understanding in the face of confining forces.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters. Goya is often referred to as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns.
