Que se la Llevaron! (They carried her off!),

1799

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, 1746–1828; born Fuendetodos, Spain; died Bordeaux, France
x1946-241
A successful painter in the court of the Spanish king Charles III, Goya filled two sketchbooks with allegorical drawings during a lengthy stay at the Andalusian estate of the Duchess of Alba in 1796. These drawings were to become source material for the artist’s celebrated set of eighty aquatints, Capriccios, in which he editorialized on the sorrows and hypocrisies of a Spanish society he saw descending into chaos. Goya’s international reputation as an artist of enormous wit and dark imagination was largely based on the circulation of these images, first printed and sold in book form in 1799.
