About the book

Francisco Goya's The Disasters of War is a series of etchings created in response to the Peninsular War and its aftermath in early nineteenth-century Spain. Rather than celebrating military heroism, Goya depicts violence, famine, execution, suffering and the brutality inflicted on civilians by all sides. The images form one of the most powerful artistic condemnations of war and remain central to Goya's reputation as a modern witness to political violence.
