The same 1815

"The Same," from Francisco Goya’s series *The Disasters of War*, is a powerful etching that depicts the brutality of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). The print shows a group of men, some armed with swords, attacking a fallen soldier with an axe, their faces contorted in rage and desperation. Goya’s use of stark contrasts, dramatic composition, and realistic detail highlights the senselessness of violence, creating a powerful and haunting image of human suffering. The artwork, like others from the series, serves as a commentary on the atrocities of war and its lasting impact on individuals and society.
