Porque esconderlos 1796 - 1797

"Porque esconderlos" (Why hide them?) is an etching from Francisco Goya's series "Los Caprichos," created between 1796 and 1797. This print depicts a scene of social commentary, with the central figure, a man, clutching his testicles in shame while being mocked by others. The exaggerated expressions and distorted figures highlight Goya's biting critique of societal hypocrisy and the corruption of the Spanish aristocracy, typical themes within "Los Caprichos." The artist's use of dark, expressive lines creates a sense of unease and contributes to the print's satirical and thought-provoking nature.
