"Accuse the Time" is a print from Francisco de Goya's series *Los Caprichos*, a collection of 80 etchings and aquatints created between 1797 and 1799. This particular print depicts a figure lying on the ground, clutching their head in agony. The artwork is known for its expressive and dynamic lines, which evoke a sense of despair and helplessness. Created during a period of political and social upheaval, the print is widely interpreted as a commentary on the abuses of power and the suffering of the common people. The *Caprichos* series was a critical and controversial work that addressed themes of superstition, ignorance, and the corruption of society. This print, like many others in the series, uses satirical and allegorical imagery to deliver a powerful message about the state of the world. "Accuse the Time" remains an important work in Goya's oeuvre, a poignant expression of his personal and political beliefs.
