The Bewitched Man is a late 18th century painting and early 19th century painting by Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes.[1] It depicts a scene from a play by Antonio de Zamora called El Hechizado Por Fuerza, lit. 'The man bewitched by force'. The portrait shows the protagonist, Don Claudio, who is believes that he is bewitched and that his life depends on keeping a lamp alight. This is one of six paintings of witches and devils Goya painted for the Alameda of the Duke and Duchess of Osuna.[2]
