Francisco Goya in Vilnius
25/02/2010 - 18/05/2010
Place of event: Vilnius Picture Gallery, Didzioji str. 4
"Los Caprichos", series of 78 prints is considered to be one of the most influential series of graphics in the history of Western art. "Capricho" can be translated as a "fantasy" or an "expression of the imagination". In Goya's terms for this series of prints, however, the meaning is "the irony of human vice."
Some say these Goya's prints are the first cartoons in history, though humor at the end of the 18th century can be perceived as more scary than funny for a person of the 21st century.
