Sobre la reseña de los Caprichos de Goya en el Semanario Patriótico de 1811 y el Diccionario de Gallardo. Una nota

Abstract

A review of Goya's Caprichos appeared in the Semanario Patriótico (newspaper published in 1811 in Cádiz). Its author, from Bartolomé José Gallardo's circle, interprets them as a hard moral satire. That same year the Diccionario crítico-burlesco was published. In both works there are numerous coincidences, such as the use of satire, the strong anticlericalism or their criticism againstt the Inquisition. Is that just a coincidence?
