FRANCISCO DE GOYA Y LUCIENTES (1746-1828)
Correction (Correccion)
Plate 46 from: Los Caprichos
Biblioteca Nacional text: ‘Malicious people of all types and conditions, shop-keepers, friars and villains, appear to desire correction (in their lives) when some monk is preaching: but soon they go back to their old ways because we do everything by imitation.’ The insinuation is that when the various religious orders have finished speaking, they thereupon fall back into their old decadent ways as does the public which does everything ‘by imitation’.
Johnson, R. S., Francisco Goya, Los Caprichos, R.S. Johnson Fine Art, Chicago, 1992, p. 118.
