Description
A black goat presides over a gathering of faces that emerge unevenly from the dark. The Great He-Goat spreads the encounter across an unusually broad composition, with the crowd pressed together and a solitary seated figure apart at the right. Ochre, muted grey and black make small passages of light feel exposed.
Goya painted the original on the plaster of his house, the Quinta del Sordo, between about 1820 and 1823. It was later transferred to canvas and is now in the Prado. This is the wide work from the Black Paintings, rather than the small Witches’ Sabbath of 1798. Its panoramic proportions make it a striking subject for a long wall or a carefully planned gallery arrangement.
Your reproduction is painted to order by hand in oil on canvas. The original work may have been painted on a different support; the medium of the original is listed separately so that the historical object and the new canvas reproduction remain clear. Choose an available size that keeps the composition in proportion, then select the presentation and framing option that suits your space.
Oil paint gives the reproduced image a physical surface with brushwork and changes of tone built in layers. The aim is to preserve the relationships that make the composition recognisable, including its arrangement of figures, important objects and balance of light and dark. It is a newly painted interpretation of the historical work, rather than a printed canvas or a mechanical transfer.
