Goya's Witches' Sabbath Black Mug

Witches' Sabbath or The Great He-Goat (1821–1823) by Francisco Goya. The painting can be seen as an attack on the superstitious beliefs rife in Spain during a period when tales of midnight gatherings of witches and the appearance of the devil were commonplace among the rural populace. They reflect the artist's disdain for the popular tendency towards superstition and the church-led return to medieval fears.
