Los desastres de la guerra 1892

"The Disasters of War" is a series of 82 etchings by Francisco Goya, created between 1810 and 1820 but not published until 1863. This particular print, number 41 in the series, depicts a demon-like figure writing in a book while surrounded by the souls of the damned. The horrific imagery was inspired by the horrors of the Peninsular War, highlighting Goya's disillusionment with war and its lasting impact on humanity. This print serves as a stark reminder of the brutal realities of war and the suffering it inflicts.
