GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de: Witches‘ Sabbath

🖼 Witches‘ Sabbath, 1789
Oil on canvas
43 × 30 cm
Madrid, Spain

Darkness engulfs a grotesque gathering where demons and witches swirl around a massive goat-headed figure in nocturnal frenzy. Goya's nightmarish vision challenged Enlightenment rationality, exposing superstition's grip on Spanish society and establishing him as a master of psychological terror.
