Description
Plate No. 61 from the series Los Caprichos (The Caprices). Volaverunt, derived from the Latin, expresses a sense of total loss. Goya described the picture as ‘The group of witches who act as a support to this fashionable fool is more of a decoration than a necessity. Some heads are so swollen with gas that they can fly without the aid of balloons or witches’. The person borne aloft is the Duchess of Alba, representing the inconstant nature of women. The composition is a study in triplets, ‘rapid and light’, its perpetual motion evoking the incessant rapidity of the upward flight.
