El Maragato Threatens Friar Pedro de Zaldivia with His Gun is a 1806 oil by Francisco Goya, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
In this painting, a man in a blue jacket and yellow pants is holding a gun and threatening another man. The threatened man is wearing a brown robe and has his hands clasped together in front of him. He appears to be praying or pleading for mercy. The scene is set in a dimly lit room with stone walls. The atmosphere is tense and dramatic, with the gun-wielding man looming over the other. The contrast between the two figures creates a sense of conflict and power imbalance. This painting is a work by Francisco Goya, a Spanish artist known for his bold and expressive style.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
