Description
Plate No. 56 from the series Los Caprichos (The Caprices). The rise to power necessitated the fall of others. Here, a devilish figure with the haunches of a goat raises a military figure to prominence as others fall to earth. Some commentators identify the rising military f igure as Prime Minister Manuel Godoy, of whom Adelardo López de Ayala y Herrera, a nineteenth-century playwright, once wrote, “Lust raised him up by his feet, it f illed his head with smoke and wind and he hurls thunderbolts at his rivals.”
