Incantation

The Incantation is one of Francisco Goya's remarkable cabinet paintings. Although each painting stands on its own, they all carry a central theme of witchcraft. Art critics categorize Goya's work within the Romanticism era due to his depiction of dramatic, intense, and often eerie scenes. While the series is not considered mythological painting, it certainly paints a world consisting of fantastical and supernatural figures. Belonging to the Dukes of Osuna, these captivating pieces once decorated their summer residence, sparking conversations with their intense, intriguing narratives. Today, only a few of these appreciated artworks remain, with one believed lost forever.
