Acquaforte, acquatinta brunita e bulino, 1799.Dalla rara prima edizione di dodici della serie detta Los Caprichos, tavola 54.Magnifica prova, particolarmente nitida, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con usuali ampli margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione.La serie chiamata Los Caprichos, è composta da ottanta incisioni. Questa prima edizione del 1799, l’unica a non essere pubblicata postuma, è impressa su soffice carta vergata di gran qualità ed è stampata usando un delicato inchiostro seppia. Curata in fase d’edizione dallo stesso artista, la serie fu commercializzata e dopo poco tempo ritirata dal mercato. Infatti, a causa dei numerosi soggetti che ironizzavano sulla società spagnola di fine secolo, il Goya subì una censura. Per questo ne sono stimati solo circa 300 esemplari. L’interpretazione dei soggetti rappresentati su queste lastre, sempre enigmatiche, è spesso controversa In questo soggetto Goya affronta il tema del mondo alla rovescia. Nella scena ci sono tre personaggi, il centro dell'attenzione è l'uomo che sta mangiando, e che cerca di evitare tutti gli sguardi, vergognandosi dei tratti osceni del suo viso. L'artista ha chiaramente indicato il suo pensiero disegnando la cintura di un paio di pantaloni sopra la testa del personaggio. I nasi sono una presenza notevole sul viso, e nel linguaggio popolare "nasi" è un chiaro eufemismo sessuale. Il modo in cui il viso è costruito, in modo che sopracciglia, occhi e naso evochino l'apparato genitale maschile, rafforzerebbe lo stesso senso. Altri commenti insinuano che la figura, nel piano superiore, con i suoi grandi pugni serrati, stia commettendo sodomia con la figura che tiene il vaso da cui mangia l'uomo vergognoso. L'anno 1799 è uno dei momenti chiave nella vita e nel lavoro di Francisco de Goya. Oltre ad essere nominato primo pittore da camera di Goya, a godere di un crescente prestigio come ritrattista e ad inaugurare la cappella di San Antonio de la Florida, che aveva decorato, il 6 febbraio il Diario de Madrid pubblicò un annuncio in cui venivano messe in vendita le ottanta stampe che compongono la serie dei Caprichos. Bellissimo esemplare. Al verso timbro di collezione HENRI MARIE PETIET (Saint-Prix, Seine-et-Oise, 1894-1980), editore, libraio e mercante di stampe a Parigi (Lugt 5031). - The rare first edition -Etching, burnished aquatint and engraving, 1799.From the rare first edition (of twelve) of Los Caprichos, plate 54.A very fine impression, showing a good contrast, on contemporary paper, with usual wide margins, perfect condition.The series called Los Caprichos, consists of eighty etchings. This first edition of 1799, the only one not to be published posthumously, is imprinted on soft laid paper of great quality and is printed using a delicate sepia ink. Cured in phase edition by the same artist, the series was marketed and before long withdrawn from the market. In fact, because of the many subjects that mocked the Spanish society of the century, Goya suffered censorship. For this it is estimated only about 300 copies. The interpretation of the subjects represented on these plates, always enigmatic, is often controversial. In this print Goya approaches the theme of the world upside down. In the scene there are three characters, being the focus of attention the man who is eating, and tries to avoid all eyes, ashamed of the obscene features of his face. The artist has clearly indicated his thinking by drawing above the character's head the waistband of a pair of pants. The noses take on a notable presence on the face, and in popular language "noses" is a clear sexual euphemism. The way the face is constructed, so that eyebrows, eyes and nose evoke the male genital apparatus, would reinforce the same sense. Other comments insinuate that the figure, in the upper plane, with his large clenched fists, is committing sodomy with the figure holding the vessel from which the shameful man eats. The year 1799 is one of the key moments in the life and work of Francisco de Goya. In addition to being named first chamber painter, enjoying a growing prestige as a portrait painter and the inauguration of the chapel of San Antonio de la Florida, which he had decorated, on February 6 the announcement of the sale of the eighty prints that form the series of the Caprichos was published in the Diario de Madrid. Here, Goya focuses his social criticism on the bestiality of a deformed man whose head emerges from his breeches. Among the slight variations between the print and the preparatory drawing, the most striking is that, in the former, he wears his trousers, but in the latter, he does not. As a result, the latter came to be known as The satire of man’s lechery. Moreover, this is the only drawing in the series to mix red-ink wash with pen. Valentín Carderera’s handwritten commentaries on the Caprichos, which are in both the Biblioteca Nacional and the Museo del Prado, further clarify this subject. The first reads: Men with large noses also tend to have large arrows [here, “arrow” is a euphemism for penis] and fat gandumbas [testicles]. As they are often sodomites, this one is depicted with his breeches on his head, with his pudenda hanging out as he lies on top of a poor devil and pulls up his skirts. The second commentary completes the information: There are men whose face is the most indecent part of their body, and it would be good if those whose face is that disgraceful and ridiculous would stick it in their breeches. Example from the HENRI MARIE PETIET (Saint-Prix, Seine-et-Oise, 1894-1980) collection (Lugt 5031). Harris 1964, 89.
