The Disasters of War is a collection of 82 etchings created by Spanish artist Francisco de Goya between 1810 and 1820. The etchings depict the horrors of the Peninsular War and the Spanish War of Independence, focusing on the brutal effects of war on civilians and soldiers alike. The images are graphic and disturbing, featuring scenes of torture, execution, and mutilation. The etchings were not published during Goya's lifetime, and were only released in 1863, long after the artist's death. The Disasters of War is considered one of the most important anti-war artworks in history, and has had a profound influence on subsequent artists and activists.Eighty-Five Etchings By Goya With An Essay On The Artist s Life And Work And An Introduction To The Etchings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
