In the graphic cabinet, the gallery presents an important cycle of graphic prints created by the Spanish painter Francisco Goya between 1793 and 1799. The etching cycle contains a range of themes and is considered as one of his masterpieces with a satirical tone criticizing contemporary society. Common topics included nightmares, vices, and eccentricities. The first edition in 1799 was published in 270 copies. Hradec nad Moravicí Castle has one set of Los caprichos, which Felix Maria IV Prince Lichnovský of Voštice (1814–1848) probably acquired directly in Spain. This collection is lent for the Zlín presentation.
