"No te escaparás" (You Won’t Escape), a print from Francisco Goya’s series *Los Caprichos*, depicts a woman being pursued by demonic creatures. The woman, possibly representing Spain, attempts to flee her pursuers. The print is a commentary on the Spanish Inquisition, which was a period of religious persecution in Spain from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The print's title and imagery are both menacing, suggesting that the woman is doomed to suffer at the hands of her tormentors. Goya’s masterful use of etching and aquatint in this print demonstrates his skill in capturing dramatic scenes and emotions.
