Francisco Goya

Associated Names

Francisco Goya

Artist, Spanish, 1746 - 1828

This is a painting depicting grotesque figures gathered under a starry night sky. The scene shows a group of bizarre, nude figures with exaggerated and distorted features huddled together on the ground. One figure in the foreground is pointing upwards towards the sky, and the backdrop is a dark night sky filled with stars. The figures have elongated limbs and emaciated bodies, creating an ominous and surreal atmosphere. The style resembles that of Francisco Goya.
