Who Would Have Thought It!, Plate 62 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a dark, eerie scene with two figures in the center. One figure appears to be a man, while the other is a woman, both of whom are nude and engaged in a struggle. The man is on top of the woman, who is lying on her back. The background is dark and shadowy, with some indistinct shapes visible. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of tension and conflict, with the two figures locked in a fierce struggle. The use of dark colors and shadows adds to the sense of drama and intensity. This painting is a characteristic example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination. To learn more about this style, explore the movement: Romanticism.
