Que viene el coco (Here Comes the Bogey-Man) is a 1799 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a bed, holding a child. The woman is wearing a long dress and has a look of fear on her face. The child is also frightened, and they are both looking up at something in the corner of the room. In the corner, a hooded figure looms, its face obscured by shadows. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with only a sliver of light coming from the window. The atmosphere is tense and foreboding, with the woman and child clearly frightened by the presence of the hooded figure. The painting is a great example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination. To learn more about this style, check out the Romanticism movement.
