Here Comes the Bogeyman, Plate 3 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows three figures in a dim room. A woman sits on a bed holding a baby, looking worried. A cloaked figure stands nearby, holding a lantern. The lighting is stark, with dark shadows everywhere. The title at the bottom reads *"Here Comes the Bogeyman."* The scene feels tense, like something scary is about to happen. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
