The Chilling Power of Goya’s Vision
Painted between 1789 and 1798, Witches’ Sabbath (El Aquelarre) is a dramatic piece that reflects Goya’s deep fascination with the supernatural, folklore, and the darker sides of human nature. In the work, a towering black goat – the traditional representation of the Devil – presides over a coven of witches. They gather in reverence, superstition, and fear, some offering infants or watching with horror, while others are lost in a trance-like devotion.
The painting is not merely about witchcraft – it’s a scathing satire. Goya was known for his criticism of the Spanish Inquisition and the irrationality of religious hysteria. Through grotesque figures, distorted proportions, and heavy shadows, he delivers a powerful commentary on how fear and ignorance can be manipulated by authority and tradition.
Originally part of a private commission for the Duke and Duchess of Osuna, this piece predates Goya’s even darker Black Paintings, but already shows his turn away from the Enlightenment optimism of earlier works toward a more cynical view of society.
A Masterpiece of Symbolism and Style
In Witches’ Sabbath, Goya merges the real and the unreal. The figures are deliberately unsettling – some with skeletal faces, others with vacant eyes – painted in muddy earth tones contrasted with stark highlights. The goat, grotesque and calm, dominates the scene with a hypnotic stillness, drawing the viewer into the coven’s unsettling ritual.
This is not just a painting of witches; it’s a reflection of cultural fear, religious control, and psychological tension – themes that still resonate today.
