The Disasters Of War - Francisco de Goya - Bog

The Disasters of War is a collection of 82 etchings created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya between 1810 and 1820. The etchings depict the horrors and atrocities of the Peninsular War and the Spanish War of Independence, which took place in Spain between 1808 and 1814. The series includes scenes of violence, torture, rape, famine, and death, and is considered one of the most powerful anti-war statements in the history of art. The etchings were not published during Goya's lifetime, and were only released in 1863, nearly 40 years after his death. The Disasters of War is a seminal work of art that continues to inspire and provoke audiences today.Eighty-Five Etchings By Goya With An Essay On The Artist�������s Life And Work And An Introduction To The Etchings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
