What does it mean to "correct" someone when the teacher is a demon? This etching and aquatint by Francisco de Goya, plate 46 from his Los Caprichos series, shows a beast-headed creature surrounded by robed, grotesque figures while winged demons swarm a murky, aquatint-darkened sky above. Made in Spain in 1799, the series was Goya's coded satirical attack on superstition and corruption, and the word "Correccion" inscribed below only deepens the unsettling question of who holds the power here.
