The Nightmare was made to illustrate a poem named Nightmare. The artist is trying to evoke a feeling of fear and terror. A woman being violated without her knowledge is the scariest thing for a woman. Any man would want to try and protect a woman from demonic rape. This portrait is very scary. The emotions evoked are terror, fear, horror, and sheer disgust. The cultural context factors might have been the poem being written about a nightmare that the art was supposed to depict.

Goya’s Inquisition Scene is an oil on canvas dated 1816. This painting deals with many sublime topics such as inhumanity to man, violence, and death. Goya was trying to prove how cruel the Spanish Inquisition was. The dunce cap on the condemned and the blood dripping shows inhumanity and violence. The verdict is already been decided, despite this kangaroo court. The painting’s atmosphere was dark and somber. Goya is trying to show the injustice of the Spanish Inquisition. Goya’s work reflects the Spanish Inquisition although the work was created after the first Inquisition and the second Inquisition. His painting style shows the seriousness of the charges brought in the Inquisition. This is the best Goya painting.
