"Sad Forebodings of What is Going to Happen," is the first plate from Francisco Goya's "The Disasters of War," a series of etchings that document the horrors of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). The print depicts a single figure, consumed by grief and fear, kneeling in a dark and turbulent landscape. Goya's expressive lines and dramatic use of light and shadow highlight the psychological impact of war, contrasting the individual's fragility against the overwhelming power of violence and destruction.
