The Disasters Of War - Francisco de Goya - Bog

The Disasters of War is a collection of 82 etchings by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, created between 1810 and 1820. The etchings depict the horrors of the Peninsular War, which took place in Spain between 1808 and 1814, as well as the subsequent famine and political unrest that followed. The images are graphic and disturbing, portraying scenes of violence, torture, and death, often with a sense of bleakness and despair. The etchings were not published during Goya's lifetime, but were later released in 1863, more than 30 years after his death. The Disasters of War is considered one of the most powerful and influential anti-war works in the history of art, and is a testament to Goya's skill as both an artist and a social commentator.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.
