"The Great He-Goat," also known as "Witches' Sabbath," is a painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created between 1820 and 1823, this work is part of Goya's famous "Black Paintings" series, which he painted directly onto the walls of his home, Quinta del Sordo, during the later years of his life. The series is characterized by its dark themes and somber tones, reflecting Goya's bleak outlook on humanity and the socio-political turmoil of his time.

"The Great He-Goat" depicts a coven of witches gathered around a towering, menacing figure of a goat, which is traditionally associated with the devil in European folklore. The goat, often interpreted as Satan himself, presides over the assembly, which includes women of various ages, some of whom appear to be in a state of trance or ecstasy. The painting's eerie atmosphere is heightened by the use of muted colors and shadowy figures, creating a sense of foreboding and mystery.

Goya's "Black Paintings" were not intended for public display; they were a private expression of his inner turmoil and disillusionment. It wasn't until after his death that the paintings were transferred to canvas and made available for public viewing. Today, "The Great He-Goat" is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to captivate and intrigue viewers with its haunting imagery and enigmatic subject matter.

The painting is often analyzed in the context of Goya's personal experiences and the broader historical events of his time, including the Peninsular War, the Inquisition, and the political instability in Spain. "The Great He-Goat" stands as a powerful testament to Goya's genius and his ability to convey the darker aspects of the human condition through his art.
