"This is Bad" is a print from Francisco de Goya's series "The Disasters of War." Created sometime between 1812 and 1863, it depicts the brutal realities of war. The etching showcases a group of soldiers mercilessly attacking a helpless figure, highlighting the violence and suffering caused by conflict. The print's stark composition and Goya's masterful use of light and shadow create a sense of urgency and despair. "The Disasters of War" stands as a testament to Goya's commitment to social commentary and his profound understanding of the human condition.
