From LinkedCulture
A young woman strides forward smiling, completely unaware of the winged demons clinging to her back and the raptor-headed creature looming overhead with spread wings. This is plate 72 from Francisco de Goya's Los Caprichos, an etching and aquatint made in Spain in 1799. The dark, swirling aquatint tones make the figures feel inescapable, pressing in from every direction. Goya created this series as a sharp critique of human folly, and this image captures its core idea that vice attaches itself to people whether they see it or not.
