Goya was an artist known due of his paintings and printmakers between the late of 18th and early of the 19th century, being one of earliest of the modern artists, his works reflected and created agitation in important later artists influencing their artworks.

Witches’ Sabbath (The Great He-Goat) is one of the haunting “Black Paintings” artist Francisco Goya created during the later years of his life. This painting it is one of my favorites because have a massive power to shock due his creation of a painting so disturbing as this one. It is possible to see that he was struggling with depression being in isolation of his studio creating this type of macabre masterpieces.
