Goya's Capriccios c.1808 | 05 novembre 2006

Spanish titel:

Esta Vmd pues,  Como digo  ...  eh!  Cuidado!  si  nò ...


The Uniform, sign of the dignity of a commander, and the baton of command, makes this blockhead imagine himself a Superior being. He misuses his office to annoy everyone who knows him. He is proud, vain, insolent to his inferiors in rank,
cringing to all above him.

Goya Capricios Around 1808 | 04 novembre 2006

- Tal para Qual

- People argue whether man or woman is worse by nature.
  The vice of one as well as the other is the result of bad upbringing.
  Where Men are perverted, women are the same.
  The young Lady in this etching is no better than the fop talking to her.
  As regards the two old people, the first is as vile as the second.

Goya Capriccios | 03 novembre 2006

 
   Que Viene El Coco.
  
   Look Out, Here Comes the Bogy-Man 

   Bad Education, To bring up a child to fear a bogy more than it's Own Father
   is to make him afraid of something that is not.

Goya Capricios | 03 novembre 2006

-  El de la rollana .

-  Indifference, laxness and to much fondling make children naughty, greedy, lazy
   and unbearable.
   They grow up yet remain childish. Here is a big spoilt booby.
