1472. "THE BEWITCHED."

_Francisco Goya_ (Spanish: 1746-1828). _See 1471._

A scene from a play ("El hechizado por fuerza"), showing a player on

the stage, dressed as a padre in complete black, and in the act of

pouring oil into a lamp which is held by an obsequious demon, while a

team of ghostly and affrighted mules are rearing in the background.

Goya, who has been called the Hogarth of Spain, specially delighted in

satirising the clergy, whose enchantments and incantations he parodied,

and whom he was fond of portraying in the form of asses or apes.
