"And This Too" is part of Francisco Goya's iconic series "The Disasters of War" (1810-1820), depicting the horrors of the Peninsular War. This etching portrays a scene of utter desolation, with a group of women and children huddled together, their faces etched with grief and fear. The figures are dwarfed by the vast, empty landscape, highlighting the devastating impact of war on human life. Goya’s use of stark contrasts and dramatic lighting adds to the sense of despair and loss. This print, like others in the series, serves as a powerful indictment of the brutality of war and its lasting effects on humanity.
