Estan Caliente (They are Hot)
Etching & burnished aquatint, 1799, 216 x 144 mm., Harris 48 iii/iii First Edition, plate 13 from Caprichos. This loaded image is a testimony to Goya's natural aptitude for combining realism with mordant wit. In a drawing related to this print, the foremost monk's nose is a phallus which is supported by a little crutch, for Goya offensively scorns the gluttony and sexual appetites of Church figures. The greed of the already richly endowed monastic orders is symbolized by the monks stuffing themeselves, and the caption suggests that they are in heat as well. The abuse and corruption of religous power in Spain prompted Goya to write, "these were the men who were devouring us." A fine impression in dark brown on laid paper with good margins.
