There It Goes, Plate 66 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a wild, chaotic scene. A man rides a rampaging bull, barely holding on, while a small figure on the bull’s back plays a flute. The sky is dark and stormy, with jagged clouds and rough waves below. The title, *"Allá va eso"* (Spanish for *"There it goes"*), hints at the madness of the moment. Goya often used humor and darkness to show life’s absurdities. Look up Romanticism next to see how this fits into the movement’s dramatic style.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
