"A gilder's son, he was by the 1790s the favorite artist of Spanish king Charles IV. A serious illness left him deaf, and he became more isolated in his imagination. Los Caprichos (the caprices) in 1799 are satirical insights with themes including the Catholic Church, the Inquisition, witchcraft, and human failings.
