The Hanged Monk is a 1810 oil by Francisco Goya, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a dark and dramatic scene. In the center, a monk is being hanged from a rope. He is wearing a white robe and his head is tilted back. To the right, a group of people are watching the scene. They are dressed in dark clothing and have serious expressions. In the background, there is a dark wall with a small window at the top. The overall mood of the painting is somber and intense. The use of dark colors and dramatic lighting creates a sense of tension and drama.
