Los caprichos (The Caprices) is a set of 80 prints in aquatint and etching created by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya in 1797-1798, and published as an album in 1799 (first edition). The prints were an artistic experiment: a medium for Goya's condemnation of the universal follies and foolishness in the Spanish society in which he lived.
Thirteen official editions are known: that of 1799, five in the 19th century, and seven in the 20th century. Being the last one in 1970 carried out by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.
