Francisco Goya (1746-1828) “Witches’ Sabbath (The Great He-Goat)” (1821-1823) Oil on plaster Romanticism This painting is one of the fourteen Black Paintings that Goya did on the walls of his house, the Quinta del Sordo. The paintings were done in secret: he did not title any of the works or leave a record of his intentions in creating them. Absent of fact, “Witches’ Sabbath” is generally seen by some art historians as a satire on the naivety of the age, a condemnation of superstition and the witch trials of the Spanish Inquisition.
