Los caprichos por Goya eran una serie de ochenta grabados con tinta. Al principio, eran un fracaso total. Este género fue una nueva expresión para
Goya quien dejó sus pinturas para las estampillas críticas. Cada reproducción representaba un movimiento de indole filosófica, política y cultural. El
artista no pudo realizar su colección entera de estampas satíricas en contra el ambiente político. Hoy en día, esta colección es conocida por ser la
desviación de sus obras tradicionales y marca su entrada al modernismo. No hay otra colección de la litografía de comentario social que sea tan
PNífica.
Según la lectura. Los caprichos son parte de una colección de raras de Goya. (1 point)
