Painting Description
"Que Viene El Coco" (Here Comes the Bogeyman) is an evocative and haunting work by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created around 1797-1798. This piece is part of Goya's famous series of etchings known as "Los Caprichos," which consists of 80 prints that critique the social, political, and religious issues of his time through satirical and often dark imagery.
The etching "Que Viene El Coco" depicts a scene of a mother and her two children cowering in fear as a cloaked figure, representing the mythical bogeyman, approaches them. The mother, with a look of terror on her face, holds her children close, while the children hide their faces in her lap, embodying the universal fear of the unknown and the supernatural. The figure of the bogeyman, shrouded in darkness, adds to the ominous atmosphere of the scene.
Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including "Que Viene El Coco," is notable for its innovative use of aquatint and etching techniques, which allowed the artist to achieve a wide range of tonal effects and intricate details. The series is also significant for its bold social commentary, as Goya used his art to criticize the corruption, superstition, and hypocrisy he observed in Spanish society.
"Que Viene El Coco" specifically addresses the theme of fear and the manipulation of it, particularly how adults use the threat of the bogeyman to control and discipline children. This work reflects Goya's broader concerns with the irrational beliefs and practices that pervaded society, as well as his interest in the psychological effects of fear and superstition.
Today, "Que Viene El Coco" is celebrated not only for its technical mastery but also for its enduring relevance and powerful commentary on human nature and societal issues. It remains a poignant example of Goya's ability to blend artistic innovation with profound social critique.
