A nun frightened by a ghost playing a guitar; page 65 from the 'Images of Spain' album (F) ca. 1812-20 Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) Spanish Nightmarish scenes and visions pervade Goyas drawings. In this one, a ghost strumming a guitar and singing awakens a young nun. The nuns asceticism is implied by her vehement attempt to dispel the spectral robed musician, who has been interpreted as representing earthly temptations. His masklike face adds a comical note to the work, embodying the nuns distorted perception that music is a demonic pleasure. Goya continually re-elaborated imagery to mock various societal vices—in this case, blind religious devotion..
