Description
Plate No. 3 from the series Los Caprichos (The Caprices). Two terrified children seek the protection of their mother from El Coco—the Bogeyman —who lurks in shadows ready to eat or snatch children. Goya was particularly critical of any form of social or behavioral control in which children and even adults were made to fear an imaginary creature. As a parent—only one of his seven children lived to adulthood—he disapproved of creating a phantom more frightening than one’s father.
