Quien mas rendido? https://collections.artsmia.org/art/80338/
binding: mottled calf, gilt tooled with a green panel on spine lettered: CAPRICH DE GOYA; endpapers: contemporary Spanish marbled papers Francisco Goya’s series Los Caprichos contains layers of meaning that even today challenge the modern viewer. Mia’s copy is a rare presentation proof containing early printings of all eighty images. In the first half, Goya explored themes of superstition, sensuality, greed, and violence with scenes set in Spanish brothels, salons, and prisons. The second half is given over to fantastic images from the artist’s dreams and nightmares. Even though Goya tried to disguise his attacks on Spanish society, he withdrew the set from sale because he had been reported to the Inquisition, a tribunal that ruled with lethal authority.

Reniego al Amigo que Cubre con las Alas y Muerde con el Pico (Renounce the friend who covers you with his wings and bites you with his beak) https://collections.artsmia.org/art/58294/
Plate 5 Francisco Goya was a prolific yet mysterious printmaker. This plate comes from a series of dreamlike images first published 36 years after his death under the title Los Proverbios (The Proverbs). Goya apparently never assigned a title to the series or to any of the individual plates. The dreams often veer into the realm of nightmarish fantasies. This image recalls a proverb that warns, “Renounce the friend who covers you with his wings and bites you with his beak.”
