Based on the original 1863 edition, this presentation of Goya’s 80 etchings decries the consequences of war through his bleak, gruesome and unflinching imagery.Following his tenure as court painter for the Spanish royal family, Francisco de Goya’s art took on darker subjects and a more expressive style, especially during the Peninsular War (1808–14). Much can be gleaned from the fraught and visceral work of this period, including his series of etchings known as The Disasters of War. Hardcover, 176 pages.
