Correction by Francisco de Goya, 1796-1797

Goya’s 'Corrección' (Correction) is a wild, nightmare-fuel scene from his famous 'Los Caprichos' series, featuring a motley crew of grotesque figures huddled together—including a guy with a literal dog’s head—while demonic little monsters swarm above. It’s a biting satire on the 'correction' of society’s flaws, suggesting that the people doing the correcting are just as monstrous as the ones being punished. Created in the late 1790s, this print showcases Goya’s dark imagination and his fearless critique of Spanish society, making it a cornerstone of Romantic art that still feels wonderfully unhinged today.
