You Will Not Escape, Plate 72 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a ghostly woman with wings flying over a dark, stormy ground. She’s holding a small child in one arm and reaching out with the other, while two other kids cling to her. The scene looks eerie and fast-moving, with loose, sketchy lines. The title at the bottom, *"No te escaparas"* (Spanish for *"You will not escape"*), hints this might be about fear or danger lurking in the night. The style feels urgent, like a nightmare you can’t wake from. If this spooky vibe interests you, check out Romanticism for more art that leans into drama and emotion.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
