Abstract
This article offers new interpretations for a number of drawings belonging to Francisco de Goya’s Album D or «Witches and Old Women Album» (1820-1823). Their study in connection with contemporary news and press articles evinces their links to the specific historical and cultural context within which they were produced and perceived. Their plurality of meanings becomes clearer when considered with regard to the social and political debates and controversies reported in the wealth of new publications emerging during the Liberal Triennium. This kind of analysis, focused on the drawings Nothing is known of this, He wakes up kicking, and on Goya’s depictions of «visions» and «nightmares», could help understand the creative process and the original use of his albums.
